As The Money Burns

Show Notes

Despite small implosions everywhere, some hide their true situations while prancing around like prized ponies at a horse show.

Over the summer of 1932, James H.R. Cromwell, aka “Jimmy,” pursues Doris Duke around France. Meanwhile, his mother Eva Stotesbury and stepfather E.T. “Ned” Stotesbury sponsor a horse show back in the Philadelphia area even while they remain abroad. Doris’s mother Nanaline Duke grows suspicious over the state of the Stotesbury fortune.
