"'The gag's as old as the hills' they said, when Allan Lambert told them about the letter from Spain, the letter from a mysterious prisoner who promised him a share in a large fortune if only Allan would pay a fine to help recover a suitcase which contained the necessary documents. 'At least as old as Columbus', they said, and Allan knew that they were right.  Nevertheless, he persisted in his crazy intention of going to Spain to investigate.  Why not? He was young; he had suddenly become unexpectedly rich and he had never had any fun."
