Le richissime financier Horace Vendig annonce publiquement qu'il se retire des affaires. Ses proches cependant ne voient dans cette décision qu'une nouvelle ruse pour tromper le fisc. À l'aide d'une série de flash-back, l'ascension fulgurante d'un homme et les germes de son propre anéantissement nous sont exposés jusqu'à son terme catastrophique. Alors qu'il courtisait sans retenue Mallory, Horace est agressé par son rival ruiné, Buck Mansfield : leur dispute sans merci s'achève par leur noyade commune.
