A small city begins to receive enormous amounts of state and federal money. The money appears to come with no strings attached and little accountability. Greed overcomes the good judgment of the city clerk, and a plan is hatched to steal millions of dollars. Soon the unstoppable habit becomes too big, the scheme collapses, and the clerk is caught. While an unfortunate occurrence, it isn't the first time a per-son in a position of trust steals money.
