He is a member of a clique of criminal financiers who have caused the ruin and death of the father of Violet and Fanny Warden, who, in turn, are being aided by J. Rufus Wallingford and Blackie Daw in their endeavor to regain a part of the stolen fortune. Again Wallingford invests five thousand dollars, value received, the "Pine Lake Hotel." Aged, dilapidated, God-forsaken Pine Lake, with its oily swamp and an over-abundance of the infernal pest, mosquitoes. This was the luscious lemon into which Wallingford wanted Algernon to bite. Bite he did, Forty thousand dollars' worth. How the Prancing Pink Pretties, a stranded theatrical troupe, with Miss Tottie Vorhies, later Mrs. Charles Algernon Swivel, as star, gave the "Pine Lake" an air of something it wasn't, and how "Onion" Jones developed smallpox, cholera and leprosy at the one time in order that Pine Lake might be rid of its undesirable guests, is a very laughable bit of comedy.
