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 to 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, Morleys daughter had eloped against her father's wishes and was abandoned by her husband after Laury's birth.

Embittered because his daughter Sharon married without his consent, irascible millionaire Morley disowns her when she comes to him a penniless widow. Morley does, however, take custody of his grandson Laurence and, after forbiding Sharon to see the boy, hires Professor John Sylvestus Applegate, a struggling writer, as the child's tutor. John, sympathetic to Sharon, promises to keep her informed of Laury's welfare and helps her find a job at the Kiddie Kabaret, where his friend Stevens is the ringmaster. When the stock market crashes, Morley sacrifices his own fortune for his investors, revealing that the same high moral standards that led him to judge his daughter harshly, also make him an honorable citizen. John proposes to Sharon, who makes one last attempt to reconcile matters with her father. Morley, now humbled by his financial losses, accepts his daughter's love, and the family is reunited. /sms.cz/
