Ties That Bind

Hoping that a change in political power will end the ongoing Great Depression, one heir vows his continuing and undying support to a presidential nominee.

A lifelong friendship develops between a young heir and his neighbor, a distant relative and a future president.  Through personal tragedies and triumphs, Vincent Astor and Franklin Delano Roosevelt support each other to establish common goals to help the poor as well as have fun and playfulness.
