The Girl in the White Coat

Elise, an impoverished factory worker, spends most of her money on keeping her invalid father in a private nursing home. That leaves her very little for rent or anything else. Her spiteful co-workers make fun of her threadbare white coat, a gift from her father. Elise eventually raises the money needed to get the coat fixed when a tailor with a kind heart tells her he'll do the job for a small fee. However, when Elise comes to pick up the mended coat, out of spite, his wife demands a large sum.
