Father Knows Best

Mr. Polgár is a provincial paper dealer. His sons, Viktor and Feri, are managers in a big factory in the capital, spending their money lavishly, living their lives in a careless, irresponsible way. Viktor is to marry a baroness and feels rather too uneasy about his father's small business. He persuades his old man into selling the business he had so long cherished and to move to their place in Pest. Mr. Polgár is not one of the idlers, so he decides, in secret, to start an enterprise selling paper. When Viktor's factory goes bankrupt thanks to Viktor's gambling, Mr. Polgár's small business, now a going concern of its kind, proves a life-saver. From now onwards, Polgár and his sons work together in the small business. Viktor's plans of marriage fall through, while Feri, who never sets his stakes high, finds his happiness in the love of a provincial confectioner's daughter. (official distributor synopsis)
