Other People's Money

Wall Street takeover artist Lawrence Garfinkle's computer is going tilt over the undervalued stock of New England Wire & Cable. If the stockholders back his takeover, they will make a bundle, but what will happen to the 1200 employees and the community when he liquidates the assets? Opposing the rapacious financier is a genial man, whose family has run the company since year one, and his chief operations officer. They bring in a young lawyer who specializes in fending off takeovers. Should she use green mail? Find a white knight? Employ a shark repellent? This compelling and humorous drama explores whether corporate raiders are creatures from the Black Lagoon of capitalism, or just realists.
