Barbara is a very rich girl who falls in love with Norman Phiffier, a poor young man. She doesnt tell him who she really is and prepares to marry him. But, Mrs. Tuttle (Barbaras mother) doesnt want her daughter to mary such a poor man. So, she hires Norman at one of her big stores, and gives him the most difficult and disgusting works. She hopes that seeing Norman humiliated, Barbara will finally leave him. But things dont work exactly this way...
