In London, Kipps faces challenges and adventures as he navigates his new affluent lifestyle. He becomes overwhelmed by the luxurious and pretentious world that he is now a part of, feeling out of place and disconnected from his roots. Despite his attempts to fit in, he struggles to find true happiness.
