The story centers around Jimmy Pitt, a young Englishman who comes into a fortune after years of a nomadic and adventurous life, transitioning from a newspaper reporter to a wealthy gentleman. The book humorously explores themes of wealth, identity, and the thrill of risk, particularly through the bet that Jimmy makes with his friends regarding his ability to commit a burglary. The opening of the book introduces Jimmy Pitt during a lively discussion at the Strollers’ Club in New York, where theatre actors gather.
