Jackson's woman has found him a foolproof way to make money -- a technique for turning ten dollar bills into hundreds. But when the scheme somehow fails, Jackson is left broke, wanted by the police and desperately racing to get back both his money and his loving Imabelle.

With a new Introduction by Luc Sante.
