At her father's funeral, Nora Llyod finds the hall empty after uncles Jason and Oscar forbid attendance. Pressured to give up her shares, Nora postpones the funeral and vows to call a board meeting as majority shareholder. When advisers warn the board will obey Jason and Oscar, she threatens to transfer all her shares to the employees if directors don't attend. Going to fetch Finley, she reaches his place only to be barred: a group forces everyone out except Finley and refuses her interference. Nora is left blocked; the board showdown and her threatened transfer hang unresolved.
