Unable to remain idle on his country estate, Alden goes into partnership with young Merrick, and on the sly he works in a garage they open on a new state highway. Peterson, an unscrupulous business rival, loses trade because of his business methods; Alden and Merrick, on the other hand, attract customers by courtesy and consideration.
