The story begins with the annual stockholders” meeting and election of officers of a collossal manufacturing empire. New officers must be elected because the president of the corporation has taken a big government post in Washington D.C. The election is going smoothly and the meeting is about over when a timid old lady who owns 10 shares asks if she can ask a question. She has read every annual report and puts the board on the spot with a multitude of questions.
The new officers hush her up by giving her a phony job. She is to be a kind of liaison officer for the other minority stockholders. She takes her job seriously and the laughs begin as she writes letters and makes solid friendships with the small stockholders. The officers of the board become uneasy at this, but she finds a way to circumvent their evil doings before they can fire her.
