Henry Horatio Hobson (Charles Laughton) is the despotic owner of a shoemaker's shop in 1880s Salford England who has a trio of daughters he has trouble dealing with. When Maggie (Brenda De Banzie) decides to marry his talented but unappreciated shoemaker Willie Mossop (John Mills) in order to set off and found their own shop, he does whatever he can to block her efforts to keep them from taking away his business.
