A poor young man traveling afoot through the beautiful orchard country of France is aided by a well-to-do farmer and his family. They give him work with them picking oranges and helping with the farm work. While working for them he manages to save a little money. In the next scene we see him just opening a little fruit stand of his own in the city. He is striving to win his trade by courtesy and fair treatment. He prospers more than ordinarily well, so it is only a short time until he is seen in richly appointed offices, for he is now the head of a large wholesale business. Meantime, his former employer has died, and now comes word to the young man that his old benefactor's wife, the one living person who had so nicely started him on his successful career, has met with bad fortune. Bearing in mind the fact that his good fortune began in the orange orchard, he has his men bring him a huge basket of the fruit and within each orange he places a gold coin. He then dispatches the rich gift...
