A chance meeting with his uncle after his father's passing leads to George Eastman being caught in the middle of two worlds and not truly belonging in either one. The son of poor missionaries, George meets his wealthy paternal uncle Charles Eastman while working as a bellhop in his uncle's hotel in Chicago, Illinois. Wanting a better life for himself, George takes his uncle up on his offer for a placement somewhere in one of the Eastman factories, Charles' want in this offer being for any Eastman to take his proper place in the world. Under his cousin Earl's directive, George is placed on the factory assembly line. Largely neglected by the Eastmans, George still sees this position as a stepping stone to something better, which he's willing to work hard to achieve. Lonely in his new surroundings, George breaks the company rule of no fraternizing with fellow employees when he starts to date fellow Eastman assembly-line worker Alice Tripp. Several months later, Charles remembers his nephew and promotes him both professionally and personally {full_page}
