Plot – Louie has inherited from his father - a ruthless real estate owner - a run-down building in a ghetto. The tenants complain often because the building needs urgent repairs, but Louis doesn't care of them, even if he's forced by a judge to fix everything. Gradually he befriends his tenants, learning to be more humanitarian, unlike his father, and he realizes poor people have to be treated well. In the end he gains his housemates' affection and his father's esteem.
