John gets employed by a rich man as a babysitter for his bratty grandson. Regardless of how he was harshly treated by his employers, John takes it as an opportunity to earn more money to secure Shirley's future. But while he and Marsha thought that Shirley was doing good in college, she ends up having a boyfriend named Edwin who accompanies her in cutting classes.

Shirley's series of secret rendezvous with Edwin results with her getting pregnant. But unknown to her, Edwin has accidentally met her father John a lot of times, with John ending up on the wrong side of the fence. So when she introduced Edwin to her parents, John ends up disapproving the relationship. Moreover, he also drives Shirley out of his house after finding out she got pregnant with Edwin's child.

Soon after John felt guilty of what he had done. To make amends, he uses up his savings from his job to buy the basic needs of Edwin and Shirley's baby and furnish the new family's house while hiding his identity out of shame for what he did. Eventually, Shirley finds out the good deed her father has done and buries the hatchet with the rest of the family.
