This Harding College short defines the profit motive and dramatizes the part that it has played in the economic development of America. It stars Freddie Fudsie, a lazy soap maker, who just wants to go fishing. He invents bar soap, makes some money, and is about to retire in peace and quiet when the sexy female Profit Motive walks by. Freddie, who suddenly needs more money to win her affection, never sees a fishing hole again.
