In this drama, a mild-mannered bookkeeper has trouble asserting himself in both his personal and professional life. His boss is a real tightwad and the poor clerk is basically working for nothing. To show his gal that he isn't a total wimp, he finally screws up his courage and asks for a well-deserved raise. At first things don't turn out as well as he had hoped. Fortunately, his future is assured when he learns that some land he owns is worth a fortune.
