Finding in these simple folk such devotion and consideration as he had never before known, Mr. Shaw left his relatives practically nothing. Being appraised of the of the Play legacy, Oscar brings his mother and sister East to claim the inheritance. Mr, Shaw's relatives, together with an unscrupulous woman lawyer, make every effort to fleece the Springers of their legacy. But the simple tactics that won George Shaw's heart triumph over all evil, and Oscar even succeeds in winning the love of Pamela Shaw, the dead man's niece. The play has abundant humor, exciting situations, a sprinkling of pathos, and interesting characters.
