El ídolo de Nueva York (1937)
Al estallar la Guerra de Secesión americana (1861-1865), Jim Fisk (Edward Arnold) es un popular vendedor ambulante. Su sagacidad y la de sus dos ganchos es legendaria. Cuando empieza la contienda, se dedican al contrabando del algodón: lo compran en el Sur y lo venden en el Norte. Una vez terminada la guerra, se han hecho ricos y, no conformes con dominar la vida económica de Boston, se preparan para emprender la conquista de Nueva York. Para ello, Jim y su socio Nick (Cary Grant) deciden invertir en Bolsa.
