During the era of the Great Depression, Godfrey Smith finds himself among other homeless men in a New York City dump known as a Hooverville by the East River. One fateful night, a spoiled socialite named Cornelia Bullock approaches Godfrey with an offer to be her “forgotten man” for a scavenger hunt, for a price of $5. Godfrey declines the offer, leading to a humorous encounter that catches the attention of Cornelia’s sister, Irene. Impressed by Irene’s kind nature, Godfrey offers to assist her in the scavenger hunt, setting off a chain of events that will change their lives.
As the story progresses, Godfrey finds himself at the Waldorf-Ritz Hotel’s ballroom, where Irene’s family is engaged in the scavenger hunt game. Godfrey’s authenticity as a “forgotten man” enables Irene to succeed in that part of the hunt. However, his outspoken nature and disdain for the players’ behavior lead him to leave abruptly, much to Irene’s regret. In an act of contrition, Irene hires Godfrey as the new family butler, setting the stage for a series of comedic and heartwarming moments.

A series of misunderstandings and deceptions ensue, culminating in a revelation that shocks both Irene and Godfrey. As their relationship evolves, secrets are uncovered, leading to unexpected outcomes for all involved.
Ultimately, Godfrey’s true character shines through as he selflessly comes to the aid of the Bullock family in their time of need. Through a series of twists and turns, misunderstandings are resolved, and a path to redemption is paved.
