The starting conflict of the story, is if the death penalty is better or worse than the life penalty. This argument lead to a bet of imprisonment for exactly 15 years in exchange for two million dollars back. The problem now was that the old banker couldn't pay the now forty year old lawyer the money because it would leave him in bankrupt, so his big idea was to kill him so he wouldn't have to pay him his last fortune. Though, when he was going to kill him he read a letter that the lawyer had written that clearly states that he didn't want the money anymore because it wouldn't be worth anything to him. This brought the old banker a joy that kept him up with his tears of excitement. The resolution of this conflict was a well taught lesson.
