Hollow Triumph

Having served his sentence, John Muller is released from prison. Rather than take the stable clerk job at a medical supply company that was arranged secretly for him by his upstanding brother, Frederick Muller, he decides to return to his criminal ways which largely consists of robberies and fraud with his former associates. When the planned robbery of a casino doesn't go quite according to plan, John has to find a place to hide out. After a few less than satisfying options, what he decides is, upon learning that the man in question is physically almost an exact double of him with the exception of a visible scar on said man's cheek, to assume the identity of psychoanalyst Dr. Victor Bartok. This task includes not only learning about psychoanalysis to be able to take over Dr. Bartok's clients, something he is all too familiar with in his past cases of fraud and having some academic background in psychoanalysis himself, he has to kill Dr. Bartok. He believes the task is made all the easier in playing upon the desires of Dr. Bartok's lonely receptionist, Evelyn Hahn, in she being in love with the doctor herself. The question then becomes if there is anything that can go wrong in this latest plan for John to hide in plain sight, especially if anyone is able to tell the difference between the two men.
