Summary:
This film was made at the height of the Great Depression when it was popular to attack Capitalism and America's free market economy. But this film shows how Capitalism can be fun and how the free market creates new jobs. Mr. A plays a shoe manufacturing tycoon who sees his chance to take over a rival's business. Complications ensue and Mr. A ends up competing with his own company.
