Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Fred Stone stars as the mayor of a small town, threatened by "progressive" politicians who plan to radically change the administration after the next election. Stone is vaguely aware that his opponents are crooks, and that they hope to loot the city treasury. To avoid this contingency, Stone bends the law a bit himself, "fixing" the ballots. On the brink of going to jail for vote fraud, Stone exposes the true crooks. Quick Money should not be confused with a like-vintage 20th Century Fox "B" comedy, Quick Millions
