Synopsis

In the gripping episode Money Is The Root Of All Evil, Frank Davidson, a purchasing agent for the Davidson Manufacturing Company, has been living a double life. While he publicly espouses the belief that money is the root of all evil, he secretly schemes to embezzle funds from his wealthy uncle, George Davidson.
