In New York City, two men, complete strangers to each other, are determined to see a certain Mr. Andrew Colby. One of them, an elderly and haggard man named Leopold Croner, has just stepped off the train in Grand Central Station and was met by his daughter, Martha. She asks "Oh Father, are you are you sure you're all right?" Croner says "I'm all right, Martha". She says "You should have let me come up to meet you". Croner says "To see me get out of prison? It's not a sight I'd want you to remember". Martha says "You're free now, Father. That's all that matters". Croner asks "Where is Mr. Colby? He didn't come here?" Martha asks "Did you expect him?" Croner says "Yes, of course I did". Martha says "Father, please don't upset yourself. Let's go home now". Croner says "He should have been here. I must see him, Martha. I must see him". Meanwhile, the other man, named Robert Reagan, that is intent on seeing Mr. Colby is now in the offices of Colby Enterprises. Colby's secretary asks "Is there something I can do for you?" Reagan says "Any number of things, but unfortunately I'm here on business. I'd like to see Mr. Colby". Secretary says "If you have any business with him...." Reagan says "Don't bother, I can announce myself". As he walks into Colby's office, She says "Mr. Colby's busy, you can't go in there". Reagan says "Don't blame your secretary, Mr. Colby, she did her best". Colby says "I trust this is something urgent". Reagan says "I'm Robert Reagan, the attorney representing Emilio Canepa. As a result of your negligent driving, his push-cart and load of bananas were damaged the extent of 68 dollars and 72 cents. You ignored my letters, Mr. Colby, so try ignoring this summons". Colby says "I assure you, Mr. Reagan, it wasn't my intention to defraud your client. I turned the letters over to my attorneys, Porter and Griswold". Reagan says "Porter and Griswold? They wouldn't take a bath unless it involved at least a hundred thousand dollars". Colby says "I think you may have a point there. Anyway, I'll see that Mr. Canepa gets a check and a letter congratulating him on his choice of attorney". Reagan says "Thank you". Colby asks "Do you always attend to these matters personally? Reagan says "I thought my client was getting pushed around, Mr. Colby, and I didn't like that".
