About:
A New York detective is approached by Anthony Jones, dandy with a peculiar request. Given 24 hours, half the reward money, and a promise for anonymity, Jones would find and arrest the Frenchman wanted for defrauding the government with false bricks of African gold. A Sherlock Holmes pastiche.
