About this audiobook
An independently wealthy young American makes a foolish bet that he can successfully burgle a house, leading to an uproarious chain of unintended consequences. His botched break-in catches the attention of a formidable police captain and entangles him with the officer's charming daughter. Forced to maintain his criminal facade while navigating high society, he spirals into a comedic web of deceit. Romance and absurdity collide as he tries to extract himself from his own disastrous wager.
