Synopsis:

Henry Horatio Hobson is the prosperous owner of a boot shop and the father of three women. Hobson, a widower, refuses to consent to the marriage of any of his daughters in order to retain their help and dowries. His daughter Maggie defies him by marrying a bootmaker and setting up a rival shop which takes away most of her father's business.
