The Wheeler Dealers
From the novel by George Goodman. Author(s):
F. Andrew Leslie
From the top of his Stetson to the tip of his fancy cowboy boots, Henry Tyroon, independent oil wildcatter, is pure wheeler dealer--a larger-than-life-sized combination of supersalesmanship, big ideas, and an unerring instinct for a quick profit. From his natural habitat of Texas, Henry comes to New York in search of "mullets" (which is Texas-talk for well-heeled potential investors) but his attention is diverted when he meets the attractive Molly Thatcher, a struggling young Wall Street securities analyst. Molly's interest in Henry derives from the fact that she hopes to sell him shares in Universal Widget, a mysterious little company which has been turned over to Molly as her last chance to make good and hold her job. Henry's interest in Molly is of a more romantic sort, but he is delighted to chat about widgets (for openers), after which it's on to a series of wild escapades--ending up first in the clutches of the Justice Department (they are innocent, as it turns out) and then in each other's arms.
