Jack and
Beatrice meet and fall in love, but Beatrice's father objects, because Jack's
family is wealthy, and Jack has never had to work for a living. He makes Jack
sign an agreement that he will make a living with his own hands for thirty
days, to prove himself, before he sees Beatrice again. Jack's first attempts at
manual labor are failures, but he finally finds an unusual job at a restaurant
that gives him hope of fulfilling the agreement.
