Andy Grant's Pluck:
When his father can no longer afford to pay for his education, young Andy experiences both good and bad fortune as he tries to make his way in the world. Accused of a theft of jewelry he did not commit, Andy nonetheless loses his first job in New York City. But, believed in by a wealthy real estate mogul, Andy gets another job, learns the business, and raises enough money to pay off the mortgage on his father's farm before foreclosure.
