Plots(1)
Graham is a ne'er-do-well who has exhausted the huge trust fund he was left at his father's death. Understandably shaken, Graham decides to follow the solution proposed by his live-in man (George Rose): marry a rich woman. Borrowing some money from his hated uncle (Coco), he eventually sets his sights on the ungainly and myopic Henrietta, a botanist who is heir to a huge fortune. After marrying her, Graham plans to kill Henrietta when they make her yearly trip to the mountains. Before that, though, he must deal with Henrietta's crooked lawyer (Jack Weston) and servant (Roberts). Will love ever find a a way? (official distributor synopsis)
