Hattie's personal secretary, Julie Krause, Charles Ridenour, and Harriet Reddy form a financial team that blossoms and rises to fame and fortune in the Atlanta area. Overnight success brings its own set of problems and eventually the Reddy family must turn to Charley Ridenour to solve these problems. As time goes by they discover that there is a whole lot more substance to Charley than anyone ever dreamed of.
