He rescues his father’s bookmaking business from bankruptcy and builds it into a large and prosperous concern. But as a father he is a failure. His children, given everything they want, grow up foolish, selfish and hopelessly spoilt. Finally Sam, a shrewd and kindly man, makes a great sacrifice to bring his children to their senses.
