In a tale of a rich man seeking heaven through giving, Jabez Holtite schemes to display philanthropy. A cynical reporter nudges him to stage a public spectacle, turning Madison Square Garden into a money-giving arena where Holtite donates a thousand dollars per hour while facing huge gate receipts.
