Synopsis
John Rarick, devenu l'un des hommes les plus riches d'Amérique grâce à sa chaîne de magasins populaires, déménage avec sa famille du Kansas à New York. Obsédé par le travail, il ne remarque pas que sa femme Jenny et son fils Avery sont malheureux et regrettent la vie simple du Kansas. Seule sa fille Jennifer aime New York et essaie désespérément de faire partie de l'élite sociale de la ville, même s'ils la snobent à cause de son origine sociale. Lors d'un gala de charité, elle rencontre Berry Rhodes et décide immédiatement de l'épouser, même s'il est déjà fiancé à Muriel Preston. Lorsqu'elle découvre que Berry est un architecte talentueux, elle convainc Rarick de l'engager pour construire une nouvelle tour de bureaux pour son entreprise. Berry rejette d'abord les avances de Jennifer mais finit par se rendre compte qu'il l'aime. Ils prévoient de se rencontrer dans le jardin, mais avant que Berry n'arrive, Jennifer est confrontée à Muriel qui lui dit qu'elle ne peut pas acheter Berry de la même façon qu'elle achète son chemin dans la société. Lorsque Muriel raconte la conversation à Berry, elle déforme les paroles de Jennifer. Peu de temps après, Muriel et Berry se marient.Actors
