A tramp is hired to pose as a financier to obtain a Balkan radium concession.
Anthony Barraclough holds an option on radium deposits, and rivals attempt to prevent him leaving England to close the deal. He hires a "double" and throws them off the track until he is returning to England in a dirigible when he is attacked. He escapes when the air-ship catches fire and arrives in London on the last moment of his expiring option.—Exhibitors Herald, July 19, 1924
