The beautiful daughter, Wanda, suddenly is confronted with George at the breakfast table and does not like the situation. For the next two years, George works for the owners of the scrap business, becomes an important participant in America's role in the scrap material collecting program, and is totally ignored by Wanda. It takes a tragic event to cause her to become civil to George and to fall in love.
