O. Henry's short story ''The Man Higher Up'' tells the tale of three men who all rob people of their money: Jeff, the cheat; Bill, the burglar; and Alfred, who encourages people to invest in worthless enterprises.
This story prompts the reader to consider the similarities and differences between these varying approaches to theft and dishonesty. By the end, the burglar seems to be in many ways the most honest of the three, largely because he is exactly what he claims to be.
