SynopsisA group of painters redecorate a house, all the while discussing life and how to make a living whilst being trodden on by their superiors. Frank Owen, one of their number, is a firm socialist who believes his ideals can end the poverty from which they all suffer. Railed against by his peers, can he sway them to his way of thinking, or will he turn to theirs? And, ultimately, will it make a difference either way?
