B. J. Calhoun, a wealthy utilities entrepreneur, gives a commencement speech at a law school with the promise of assisting the new graduates.

Fellow vet, and petty thief, Alexander Pough visits their office and informs them that Calhoun has been arrested on embezzlement charges.

Pough agrees to help Russell on the law team's first case, which could aid the young lovers in building their nest egg.

In the end Calhoun's faith in the justice system is restored, and he gives the young legal eagles $10,000 as a retainer.
