Following a night of revelry, a wealthy oil magnate awakens to the surprising revelation of his recent marriage, accompanied by a gold-digging stepdaughter and brother-in-law intent on his demise for financial gain. Upon encountering a blackmail scheme, the tycoon seeks refuge in a hotel with his butler and legal counsel. Employing a disguise involving his lawyer and the assistance of his butler, the tycoon navigates a series of frantic escapades, including pursuits through a dance hall and amusement park, to evade his pursuers and safeguard his assets.[1]
