Synopsis

Roscoe, mentally disabled and in his fifties, has to move from the rooming house he's lived in for years. His banker brother, George tries to convince Roscoe he must move in with George and his family. Roscoe refuses to give up his independence and tells George he can manage - as the odd jobs he does pays his expenses and he has friends. George discovers this is true and reluctantly concedes he is indeed self-sufficient. George goes home with a new-found realization that Roscoe, like some mentally disabled people, can make their own way in life - with the help of kind and understanding people.
