Synopsis
When perpetual failure Nathaniel Dunham is fired from yet another job, his successful friend Harry Kellogg offers him $500 if Nat will move to a small town, change his ways and marry a rich heiress. Nat agrees, moves to Radville and accepts a job in Sam Graham's dilapidated drug store. Taking an interest in the business, Nat surprises himself by turning it into a financial success. On the verge of accomplishing his goal of marrying Josie Lockwood, a wealthy banker's daughter, Nat recognizes that he is in love with Graham's daughter Betty. Realizing that he has achieved contentment, Nat entreats Harry to cancel their agreement and settles down to a life of happiness with the druggist's daughter.
