Plot
Storyline
Molly wants to marry rich. When she runs into Andy, heir to a restaurant fortune, she jumps at the chance and marries him. Andy's father is furious and disinherits them. Andy tries his hand at ditch digging, but that doesn't work out.
A wealthy restaurant-chain owner, Andy B. Charles (Burr McIntosh), disinherits his only son, Andy B. Charles, Jr. (Ralph Graves), when the son decides to marry a gold-digging cigar-stand attendant instead of taking over the family business. Undaunted, the son and his new wife hit on an idea to market box-lunches. Soon, they are so successful that the father's restaurant-chain is losing business.
