Plot

Eric Gregg is an insurance investigator whose avaricious wife Nona wants him to make more money. After he solves a case and is promised a raise, Nona buys a fur coat on credit, misses a payment and perpetrates a fraud with the help of Thurston, the loan company's boss.

Eric ends up losing his job after a rival, Dawson, exposes the fraud. Eric and a cigarette girl, Patricia Carmody, begin pulling insurance scams of their own. Nona ends up marrying Thurston and leaving him. When the law comes after them, it turns out Eric and Patricia have been working undercover, so Nona and Thurston go off to jail while Eric gets back his old job, plus a raise.

Cast
gollark: Probably, though?
gollark: That would kind of defeat the point.
gollark: I'm not sure how else you could do it, really, since the situation with cryptocurrencies is that you need some way to deterministically, mathematically, decentrally verify that the money actually does belong to a specific person.
gollark: This avoids the problems of proof of stake/work, but does mean you get some authority controlling it, which is... well, the situation now?
gollark: We have... several thousand of them.
