Looking to bust up union activity at his department store, wealthy tycoon J.P. Merrick (Coburn) goes undercover as a shoe salesman in order to identify the organizers. Soon though, he’s caught up in the lives of his employees, including union ringleader Mary Jones (Arthur), and Merrick forgets his original purpose…until his two identities collide.
