Plot Synopsis
     An ambitious young insurance clerk tries to get ahead by lending his apartment key to several of the company's philandering executives. But when he falls in love with the building's elevator operator, he soon realizes that she's the woman his married boss has been taking to the apartment for romantic trysts. Spurred on by the exhortations of the philosophising doctor who lives next door to him, the troubled young man eventually re-examines his priorities and decides to be true to himself and drop out of the rat race. In the process, he also wins the girl.
