Sa lettre de licenciement était signée d'un simple « B », comme toutes les lettres du même genre dans l'entreprise, et tout le monde pense qu'il s'agit là de la signature du président de la compagnie, Theodore C. Barker. Ses collègues convainquent Jim d'aller dans l'Est pour rencontrer ce président haï, mais quand il arrive dans son bureau, Barker s'avère être un homme charmant. Il apprend alors que « B » est la signature de Brown, le directeur général, qui gère l'entreprise dans le dos de Barker, et qui s'est enfui avec une fortune en actions des chemins de fer.
