Marriage, children and illness drain the small bank account. At the end of 20 years the former ambitious youth is now a tottering, shriveled prematurely-old man. A young clerk reproves the older man, whose latent manhood asserts itself. Crushing his pride, he recalls hasty action and offers apologies. but the following Saturday brings the "blue devil." Unknown to her husband the wife has saved the small sum of one dollar each week out of his salary. When she learns of her husband's discharge and suspects his discouragement over inability to find employment, she carefully counts her savings of the past years and shows it to him. In his travels while searching for work he sees pictures of farmland for sale and with part of his wealth the happy couple purchase a farm. A year later the old office man is healthy and happy with his little family.
