Everybody loves the boss. Pierre Watkin is the head of a steel mill with a ne'er' do well son (Ranny Weeks) who arrives to take over when the old man dies. But he finds himself under the thumb of dad's right hand man (Grant Withers) who has taken over the company and Weeks does everything to under-mind him, even going after his girl (Beverly Roberts). Fists fly as the two come at odds and it is up to Roberts to make peace.
This results in a drama with comic overtones of turning a boy into a man, and even if certain plot elements of the film might seem to come out of nowhere or even seem realistic, it is obvious that the writers were going for something different than normal, which results in all of the characters learning a major life lesson and coming out better.
Standard B fare is short and sweet, typical for the bottom of the bill feature, and acting is passable, if not remarkable. Watkin, in his brief scenes, makes more of an impact than the other actors. William Newell strives hard for laughs but a lot of his attempts at comedy end up with groans.
