Synopsis

Matthew and Reginald Crosby, two brothers, and their cousin, James Thedford, manage an industrial conglomerate. Reginald marries an actress and gives so many lavish parties that one of them leads to a strike after being reported by labor editor Oscar Lackett. The strike leaders are Jem Burress, a fiery orator, Louis Stolbeck, a German immigrant, and Stolbeck's feisty daughter Louise, who is also Jem's girlfriend. John Stedman, a labor lawyer, lends moderation to the cause and thus impresses Grace, Reginald's sister, who joins the workers. Jem, jealous of Louise's infatuation with John, attempts to discredit him with the union members. Louise goes to John's apartment to warn him, but Grace arrives to accept John's marriage proposal. To prove her devotion to John and the cause, Grace summons her brothers to John's apartment, and when everyone converges, the strike finally is resolved.
