Oppenheim writing a Wodehousian comedy. Wonderful!
Mr Steven and Mr. George Henry Underwood, sibling, bachelor middle aged merchants in the city of London have just been given a letter from their long deceased father. Regular habits, cautious living, and strict budgets have resulted in a net worth of one million pounds. In the letter from their father, they are enjoined to learn how to spend as well as that have learned how to save. The brothers abandon their cautious mode of existence, and take up residence in a suite at the Milan Hotel. With the help of their younger nephew, Harold, they make the acquaintance of showgirls, acquire a house in the country, and invest in numerous hare-brained schemes. Unfortunately, every venture turns out to their favor. They are unable to spend more money than they make. They embark on romance seeking to be sued for breach of promise. All to no avail.
