Synopsis

Rose, an orphan, lives with her lazy uncle Joe who works as a janitor in the publishing house owned by James Stevens. Imagining himself to be downtrodden, Uncle Joe and Rose are susceptible to the socialist ideas of writer Rudolph Creig who convinces them that the rich are evil. Rose meets Stevens' son Jack one day while he is working on his car and, believing him to be a common laborer, begins to see him. Through her exposure to Jack, Rose gradually comes to realize that the rich are not such a despicable lot, a conclusion that Rudolph also reaches when he learns that Stevens has published his book and that a fat royalty check is awaiting him. Because of his earnings, Rudolph is able to marry Rose.
