Before her son Andre Gale marries gold boutique manager Gina Flint, wealthy matriarch Irene Gale decides to test the bride-to-be by visiting the store dressed in impoverished attire. The experiment quickly exposes Gina's shallow cruelty. Treating the disguised elder with venomous disdain, Gina deliberately smashes an expensive bracelet, frames Irene for the damage, and broadcasts the confrontation online while commanding her staff to assault the woman. When honest sales clerk Helen attempts to shield Irene, she is brutally targeted as well. The malicious spectacle reaches a sudden halt when Andre walks into the boutique, discovering his fiancée's disgraceful conduct firsthand.
