An early social-realist critique of greed and market manipulation, contrasting the dignity of labor with the callousness of unchecked capitalism.

On a whim, a greedy tycoon decides to corner the world market in wheat. This doubles the price of bread, forcing grain producers into charity lines and others further into poverty. The film contrasts the differences between the lives of those who work to grow the wheat and the life of the man who dabbles in its sale for profit.
