Synopsis: Fred Allerton is frustrated. Fred's father refuses to trust him with the very machines Fred built to make their furniture factory work faster. Then Papa hires Mr. Purlee to supervise Fred. It soon becomes clear to everyone but Papa that Mr. Purlee doesn't know what he's doing. Even worse in Fred's eyes is the fact that Mr. Purlee helps slave owners. Fred's problems follow him home when his sister Julia becomes close friends with Mr. Purlee's daughters and refuses to listen to Fred's warnings about them. When Mr. Purlee blames an explosion in the factory on Fred, and Papa believes the man, Fred leaves home to live with his cousin Tim. Will Papa and Fred settle their differences? And how can Fred's enemy possibly become his friend?
