Brown's father fails in business, and the boy leaves college, and with the true American grit, goes to work in a great steel mill, where his fine character and the same energy that made him the star ball-player at college, wins for him rapid advancement. Clayton becomes a financier, and he devotes his life to money making. The rich man snubs his former chum because he is a workman, and the two men part in anger. Brown is seen amidst most interesting scenes in the foundry and machine shops of a great steel plant, contented with his work. Clayton worships only money, and his selfishness causes a respectable old merchant to kill himself. Brown marries for love, and in his modest home with his wife and baby boy, he realizes heaven on earth. Clayton marries a wealthy society girl who elopes with one of her own kind. Time brings a reversal of fortune to the two men. Clayton loses his money in speculation, and sinks to the gutter. Brown giving alms to a ragged beggar recognizes in the unfortunate one his old college chum. For "Auld lang syne" Brown gives the helping hand to Clayton and secures work for him in the steel works.
