Tales of the Twenties

Mr Jack Hollins is a self-made millionaire at odds with values and life in the 1920s. His daughter Minnie strives to be an emancipated woman. She is an art student and a socialist, and longs for her own life away from home. Her father refuses to let her go and when she eventually escapes by marrying, Jack Hollins, through his money, still controls her life. But the world is changing and it is beyond Mr. Hollins's control. He finds himself no longer master of his fate.
