In 1910 Chicago, the social reformer Louisa hires the immigrant mechanic Sully to build her a new heating system. After convincing Louisa that his steam boiler absolutely will not make her pregnant, Sully realizes he will get nowhere romantically without listening to her lectures about worker rights and suffrage. When the mysterious Mr. McRee pulls Sully into a campaign to challenge the banking establishment, he finally sees the struggle between capital and labor, and joins Louisa in a greater progressive movement that is worth their sacrifice. LIKE MONEY IN THE BANK is a comedy-history about one of the era’s most romantic events, the founding of the Federal Reserve Bank.
