Features: A miserly and shrewd millionaire has a naive and beautiful only daughter. She falls in love with a bankrupt and fallen relative. To help him "make it big in the world," she gives away all her savings, which angers her money-loving father. A fierce conflict ensues between father and daughter, and the timid and virtuous mother falls ill. In the end, the lovesick girl, who loses her father in anticipation and wastes her youth, only awaits the unfaithful man who returns after becoming wealthy.
