Sorrell humbles his own pride and begins life over as a hotel porter in order to give his son a gentleman's opportunities. He thrives in the knowledge that his son will benefit from his labors. Sorrell has allowed the boy to believe his mother is dead but later she shows up wanting to re-enter the young man's life. Sorrell must make hard decisions.
