Henry, Caspar Milquetoast apologist to Mr. Tom Garner, explains to his wife that Tom Garner explains to his wife that Tom Garner was more than a Legree, more than the faithless, cruci, relentless devil, whose feet the world licked, whose name the world cursed. And where Henry's spirit listeth the camera follows, watching urchin Tom Garner high diving into a rocky bottom, president Tom Garner buying up rusty railroads, husband Tom Garner sweating out, for his wife, the tale of his new love...
