His manager devises a scheme whereby a reduction in wages Marshall can save a large sum of money. The manager's secretary objects to the plan, siding with the laboring man. To learn for himself about actual conditions, Hiram Marshall clothes himself as a working man, secures employment in his own factory. He works at a forge and after a few hours of hard labor, faints from exhaustion. The foreman places him in the care of another workman, who takes him to his own home. Supported by his new friend, who does not realize that the man he has helped is his employer, they arrive at the mansion, during a heated argument between the manager and the secretary. The entrance of the manufacturer, still clothed in the garb of the laborer, causes something of a sensation, which is only climaxed by Marshall declaring that instead of cutting down wages he is going to run his work on a co-operative plan, his employees to earn their percentage of the profits. A love interest is woven into the play, Marshall's daughter being engaged to the secretary. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
