Solomon saves his money and prospers. Morris is well educated and is finally sent to college, where he forms an attachment for another young man. Solomon has been looking forward to the day his son should graduate and become his business partner, but the old man's heart is well-nigh broken when Morris comes home with airy notions, and a feeling of shame for his father. He wishes to go into business with his chum and Solomon gives him the money. Morris becomes infatuated with his partner's sister, to whom he becomes engaged. He refuses to live with his father and takes a handsome apartment, where he gives a dinner in honor of the prospective bride. Solomon is not invited, but thinks it an oversight on the part of his son, and attends with Rachel. Angered, and thinking himself humiliated, Morris disowns his father. The old man denounces his son and his associates and departs. Later Morris's chum ruins him, his fiancée deserts him, and Rachel prevails upon Solomon to go to Morris and bring him home. With his false pride shattered, Morris meekly and humbly realizes that his place is with his old father, and that Rachel is far dearer to him than the heartless woman he thought he loved.
