Widower Henry Hobson (Charles Laughton) is a successful boot maker and a tyrannical father of three daughters who all want to leave him by getting married, but he refuses because marriage traditions require him to pay out settlements.
Wikipedia: A Hobson's choice is a free choice in which only one thing is actually offered. The term is often used to mean an illusion of choice. The most well known Hobson's choice is "take it or leave it".
