Morris is the kind and funny Jewish owner of a scrap yard in New Jersey. Noah goes to work for Morris after leaving New Bern to find work during the Great Depression and soon becomes the man’s favorite employee. When Noah enlists in the army to fight in World War II, he receives a letter from Morris that entitles Noah to a small percentage of the scrap yard business. After fighting in Europe, Noah returns home from Europe to find that Morris has both liquidated his assets and died, leaving Noah his share of the company—over $70,000. The money from the generous Morris enables Noah to buy and renovate a large plantation house back in New Bern.
