Plot

The movie follows the life of Eddie Barnes, who is employed by his father, Rodney, the owner of Barnes Slumber Accessories Company. [3] Eddie is deeply in love with Mary Matthews, the daughter of Charles Matthews, Rodney's competitor, but lacks the financial means to marry her. Fearing that Mary will leave him for someone else, Eddie implores his father for a pay raise, but his request is denied. [3] In a bid to secure his future with Mary, Eddie decides to use his mother's inheritance to purchase a business. However, Eddie's plan is thwarted when the broker assigned to collect the policy's full amount is unable to do so due to Eddie's mother being alive. [3] The broker's partner, a gangster, refuses to wait for the full amount and decides to take matters into his own hands. Throughout the movie, Eddie is seen struggling to rescue his grandmother from the kidnappers, while at the same time confronting Chic Collins and his gang. [3]
