Mary Lou's activism brings her into contact with a group of radical thinkers, including a young man named Karl. Karl is a brilliant economist who believes that the only way to end the Great Depression is through a deflationary monetary policy.

Together, they work to promote deflationary policies, and they eventually succeed in getting their ideas adopted by the government.
