On one of his bratty son Eric's annual visits, the plutocrat U.S. Bates takes him to his department store and offers him anything in it as a gift. Eric chooses a black janitor who has made him laugh with his antics. At first the man suffers many indignities as Eric's "toy", but gradually teaches the lonely boy what it is like to have and to be a friend.
A lonely billionaire finds his pampered life upended when his spoiled son demands a human being as a plaything. This absurd premise turns into a touching lesson on connection as the captive janitor breaks through the tycoon's cold exterior.
