Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dick’s Uncle has always been too indulgent, and so Dick has been wild. Uncle, however, grows tired of Dick’s recklessness and, giving him a roll of money, tells him to go and make a man of himself. Dick, thrown on his own resources, goes to another city, gets a job, and marries a poor girl. He proves capable of taking care of himself, but desiring to impress uncle he plans too big a scheme and nearly loses out.
