SYNOPSIS
Professor John Sylvestus Applegate has been dismissed from his college teaching position for objecting too loudly to the predominant part that football and other sports play in the curriculum, and soon finds himself dead broke when publishers show no interest in the dry material he brings them. He meets a young boy, Laury, and his mother Sharon in the park and is quite taken with them. He gets a job-prospect letter, as a private tutor, and applies at once. His employer is Mr. Morley, a surly, sour, mean-tempered old man who informs John he is to act as a tutor for his grandson--who turns out to be Laury. Sharon, Morley's daughter, had eloped against her father's wishes and was abandoned by her husband after Laury's birth.
Sharon is a penniless widow, forced to seek help from her father, Morley, a wealthy financier, who didn't approve of her marriage. Morley agrees to take in his grandson, Laury, but declares Sharon can never see her son again.
Morley hires Professor John Applegate to tutor Laury. John secretly keeps Sharon informed of her son's welfare. When the stock market crashes Morley uses his own fortune to help his investors. John proposes to Sharon. Morley, now humbled by his financial loses, reconciles with his daughter.
