Twenty Dollars a Week is a 1924 American silent comedy drama film directed by F. Harmon Weight and starring George Arliss, Taylor Holmes, and Edith Roberts.[1][2] Ronald Colman, then a rising star, had a supporting role as Arliss's character's son. The film was long thought lost before a print was rediscovered in the Library of Congress collection.

Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] John Reeves, steel magnate, wagers with his son Chester that he can earn twenty dollars a week and live on it. He procures work in the office of William Hart's steel plant. Against her brother's wish, Hart's sister Muriel adopts a little boy. Hart evens up by adopting John Reeves as his father. Reeves foils James Pettison's plot to ruin Hart. Chester also makes good as a workman and wins the affection of Hart's sister. The father reveals his identity and takes Hart as a partner.
