It was one of the most sensational get-rich-quick schemes heard of in a long time, but it eventually burst over the head of its originator, John Law. This rags to riches to rags story, in which the plan was to open a bank and exchange banknotes (paper!) for gold at wildly inflated share prices, ends when John Law, having been cleaned out as a result of a rush to cash in the notes, is left broke and broken-hearted. • Directed by Richard Condie - 1979 | 9 min • Watch more free films on NFB.ca → http://bit.ly/YThpNFB • Subscribe to our newsletter → http://bit.ly/NFBnewsletter • Follow us on Facebook → http://bit.ly/ytfbNFB • Follow us on Instagram → http://bit.ly/2FdmRol • Follow us on Twitter → http://bit.ly/yttwNFB • Download our free iOS Apps → http://apple.co/2dbva4h • Download our free Android Apps → http://bit.ly/2dbvHmO
