Most shorts from the 1930s-50s are comedies and I assumed this one was. Well, in hindsight I don't think it was...but it was pleasant viewing.
Harry Holman plays Mr. Stanton, a rich businessman. The elevator operator in his building comes to his office to talk and you learn that the men went to Yale together and apparently there was a bet between them as to which one would become a bigger success. What's next? See the film.
The film works for me because Holman was a film character actor and he pretty much carries the short. Not a brilliant film but pleasant and enjoyable...and a lesson about what success actually means.
