あらすじ・解説
Artie Kipps is destined at the tender age of fourteen for a life of drudgery in the drapery trade … until he unexpectedly inherits a fortune from a grandfather he never knew existed!

And the stage is set for inevitable disaster as Kipps, stumbling uncomprehendingly through the English class system, is fleeced of his fortune.
