Sixty Cents an Hour (1923)

Although Jimmy Kirk earns only $7.50 a week as a soda jerk, he is ambitious and hopes to marry Mamie Smith, the bank president's daughter. He saves up enough money to rent a car, in which he finds money stolen from the bank. When James Smith tries to keep Jimmy from receiving the reward, Jimmy shrewdly claims that the bank encroaches on his 4-ft. plot of property. Jimmy wins both a financial compromise and Mamie.
