A college professor and minister struggle to keep their families out of poverty despite their stable jobs. The professor's daughter gets attention from numerous young men, especially the spoiled son of a college trustee. He gradually learns that it is better to send her food and money rather than expensive gifts. Meanwhile, her mother is self-conscious about their plight and constantly bickers with a well-off wife next door. Even the cat gets involved. While it may draw sympathy to the plight of the poor, it lacks any kind of dramatic momentum and has a rosy, anticlimactic non-ending.
