John Sloval, a New York subway guard, would like
to marry his daughter, Sophie, to Philip Hurd, a Coney Island
concessionaire, but she is in love with Bill Hedges, son of an upstate dairy
farmer.
Sloval arranges a wedding in exchange for a quarter interest
in the concession, but preparations are interrupted when he falls off a
subway platform and is nearly run over by a train. A newspaper
capitalizes on the old man's injury to bring subway reform and to promote
its candidate.
Sloval goes to campaign headquarters after the
newspaper's candidate is elected to find that they merely used him for
campaign fodder. Dejected, he returns home to find Sophie and Bill,
newly married, inviting him to become assistant manager at the dairy farm. |
