As a young boy, Arthur Kipps becomes an orphan and is entrusted to a miserly shopkeeper who caters in ladies' fashion but keeps his knavish staff in Dickensian poverty. Arthur grows into a slick womanizing salesman, able to secure dates but utterly lacking the self-confidence to aspire proper relationships, feeling 'unworthy' of young ladies.
