Synopsis
There is a racket involving Middle European emigres who have relatives still living behind the Iron curtain. The swindlers trick them into handing over large amounts of money by claiming to be secret police officers from their home country. They tell their victims that their relatives have been imprisoned and that they can keep them alive by paying ransom money, threatening to use physical force if the ransom is not paid. They are outwitted by a shrewd man who is being forced to pay to keep his mother alive, yet knows that she had died several days before the racketeers called on him.
