Summary
Percy Piggott, a Lancashire window cleaner, will inherit a multi-million fortune providing that he spends a million quickly. His attempts to spend his money in New York get him involved with the production of a musical comedy, the stock market and the race track all of which against the odds, insist on making him a profit. Even the shady banker Van Norden and his seductive daughter fail to separate Percy from his money or from his uncomprehending girlfriend Sally. On a South Sea island, Percy succeeds in smashing up and salvaging at great expense a yacht while personal conflicts fly in all directions but, finally he manages to get rid of the last dollars just in time for the fatal hour and everything ends happily.
