The adventurer

Frank Swinton is an adventurer: a man determined to raise himself above the drudgery of a nine to five job. He falls in love with Helga - the beautiful blonde girl who looks after the household. But he accidentally overhears about the death of the only son of Sir Alfred, a wealthy financier. 'The adventurer' takes fate into his own hands and goes to offer his condolences, and when he discovers that his heiress is falling in love with him, he is tempted to betray true love.
