Horace Parker, un jeune et riche égoïste, a accepté de financer un système de communication avec Mars à condition d'être crédité comme son inventeur. Un soir, il reste chez lui pour en étudier les plans plutôt que d'aller à une soirée avec Minnie, sa fiancée. Comme il s'endort, un personnage lui apparaît, qui se présente comme un messager en provenance de Mars, dont la mission est de convertir l'homme le plus égoïste de la Terre. Il montre à Horace la pauvreté qui règne dans les rues et lui fait entendre les reproches de Minnie à son sujet. Emmené chez un soldat dont il a refusé d'aider la femme, il se réveille pour découvrir leur maison en feu, et sauve alors la femme. Il invite ensuite d'autres infortunés chez lui, et regagne ainsi l'estime de Minnie.
