He hires an efficiency expert, Clive Denning, to find someone to run the new business. Denning makes all employees do an efficiency test; the best performing person is a draughtsman, Hugh Kenton, whose rating is an all-time high. Kenton is sent to Toowomba to run the business, upsetting the former owner, Arthur Winton, but impressing the secretary, Mary Charters. Kenton and Charters begin a romance which leads to a marriage proposal. Kenton says he wants to go back to being a draughtsman and Charters is delighted. Denning visits Kenton and proposes he takes part in a corporate takeover of the business. Denning makes Bucholz take the efficiency test and the latter performs poorly; this results in Bucholz being replaced by Kenton. Kenton then engineers it so he has power over Denning. Kenton invites Mary Charters to Sydney and announces his intention to continue in business. Mary dislikes this so Kenton offers to go back to being a draughtsman because "the woman should sacrifice not the man". She breaks it off with Kenton and leaves him. See less
