Office worker Lee and engineer Ted are in love. Ted is working on a invention he hopes will make him wealthy enough to marry her. Lee inherits $28,535 from a distant cousin. Ted feels this puts more pressure on him to succeed; he proposes marriage to Lee but she stalls, worried Ted is interested in her inheritance. Lee dates other men and Ted feels she only loved him for his income potential. Ted’s invention is a bust; Lee lies to him and says her inheritance also fell through, and now they can marry because they’re both poor.
