As a poor machinist he is happy, but when he perfects an invention and makes $100,000, it goes to his head. He marries Julia Casey of poor parentage, and they set out in great style. They snub Angus McDonald, Nettie Arliss and even Julia's father, Patrick, a delightful old Irishman. Then John begins to speculate in stocks. He was a good inventor but a poor speculator. He goes broke, and must again go back to work in the machine shop. But they take it cheerfully. It was a good time while it lasted. Patrick forgives their snobbery, and Angus and Nettie invite them to "stand up" for them at their marriage. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
