A Climbing Stock

Many years ago, Jacque was tricked into selling his last cow to M. Au Paulet for an amount that wasn't worth beans. Today, John, the owner of a small failing business, is tricked by a strange little man to sell his company for three thousand shares of an unknown stock called Beomicroscopy Endoscopic Arterial NeuroSurgery. To his surprise, the BEAN stock grows rapidly. So rapidly, in fact, that he finds himself questioned by the FBI, FTC, and practically every organization with an F in their name. In order to preserve his name, John breaks into BEAN headquarters. Whisked away, John must fight bureaucrats, dragons, labor unions, and a very powerful corporate giant. But despite all the obstacles John won't quit not 'til the cows come home.
