Year after year the bookkeeper works in the same monotonous way. Marriage, children and illness drain the small bank account. At the end of 20 years the former ambitious youth is now a tottering, shriveled prematurely-old man. A young clerk reproves the older man, whose latent manhood asserts itself. Crushing his pride, he recalls hasty action and offers apologies. but the following Saturday brings the "blue devil." Unknown to her husband the wife has saved the small sum of one dollar each week out of his salary.
