The Firm of Girdlestone

When the queen of diamonds has failed businessmen John and Ezra Girldestone, they turn to the queen of hearts for redemption, or at least renumeration. Wooing lovely heiress Kate Horston turns out to be harder than they expected, though, leaving them with one sinister option: murder.
