The story revolves around Jonathan Reuben Wix, a roguish and carefree character who engages in dubious activities and adventures, primarily focused on schemes for making easy money. The narrative hints at Wix's colorful personality and interactions, particularly with a more straight-laced friend named Clifford Gilman, setting a tone of humor and witty social commentary.  At the start of the novel, Jonathan Reuben Wix is introduced as a jovial and somewhat reckless young man who enjoys gambling and living life to the fullest. After a brief return from a trip to New York, where he indulged in extravagant spending, he finds himself in conversation with Gilman, who reveals his secret practice of investing in wheat trading. As Wix encourages Gilman to embrace riskier ventures, the latter becomes entangled in a shady scheme presented by a mysterious character named Horace G. Daw. The opening portion establishes a vivid contrast between Wix's carefree approach to life and Gilman's cautious nature, setting in motion their subsequent adventures and moral dilemmas.
