Steamboat Bill Jr.

William Canfield Jr., honoring his mother's wish, travels to River Junction to meet his father. Displeased with his son, the elder Canfield faces threats from J.J. King, who controls the town's key businesses and has rendered Canfield's steamboat obsolete. Despite their fathers' disapproval, Canfield Jr. and J.J.'s daughter, Kitty, develop feelings for each other.
