Overview

The wealthiest man in the world, John P. Merrick, is a private person who likes to stay anonymous. One of his many assets is Neeley's Department Store. There is labor unrest at the store, and the employees' anger is directed at him, who they hang in effigy outside the store despite not knowing what he looks like. Merrick, not happy at what he sees going on, decides to mete out the rabble-rousers. So he goes undercover as a sales clerk in the shoe department.

00:04:10 Oh, George. Yes, sir?

00:07:44 Why not two or three days?

00:11:31 That's one point over... the lowest passing grade.

00:14:50 I don't intend to eat at all. Would it inconvenience you if I sat with you?

00:18:22 Oh that's alright, this gentleman will wait on me.

00:21:39 I can tell you now they will be not only discharged.

00:24:45 Step up here.

00:28:20 Why don't they make themselves so indispensible the store can't fire them?

00:50:46 And you rent a bathing suit.

00:53:55 In New York. Shhh, keep your voice down.

00:56:39 This man is a servant of the people that's all. And a darn poor one at that.

00:59:27 Now get out of here!

01:03:30 Well, I...I can't. I can't take up your time.

01:07:38 You mean a sixth sense. I mean a seventh sense.

01:11:41 Now?

01:15:40 Who do you think you're talking too?

01:20:45 I've worked with these people. They have rights.

01:24:15 If we all walk out now we got them licked! Come out to Bryant Park.

01:28:42 Miss, we are not concerned with moral issues.
