Mark Brinkley only wants to make money and appears to care for no-one else - except Eleanor, whose ring he wears. She has said no to marriage for 20 years because of his meanness. At home Mark falls from a ladder moving a painting of Wayne Brinkley. Wayne appears and then takes Mark through history to look at various events to show him the value of friendship over money. At each stage Mark tries to make money but is caught out. Eventually he realises his mistake and gives Wayne his ring. He wakes up and proposes to Eleanor who accepts. The painting now shows Wayne wearing Mark's ring.
