Plot

Scroogelike William H. Thompson thinks nothing of exploiting and persecuting those financially beholden to him. Thompson's son Charles Ray is as purehearted and generous as his dad is mean-spirited and greedy. When Ray is shabbily treated by Thompson once too often, he becomes a dope addict. At long last, Thompson is awakened to his deficincies as a father and as a human being. The fine hand of scenarist C. Gardner Sullivan is more than evident in The Dividend's purple-prosed subtitles. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
