Plot

[edit]

American confidence trickster Timothy O'Reilly has to flee New York with the law after him for his dubious business activities. He goes with his loyal, quick-thinking secretary across the AtlantictoScotland where his son Terence is living.

O'Reilly finds Terence is in love with the daughter of Malcolm McNab, a tight-fisted local businessman. The two engage in a certain amount of rivalry while O'Reilly tries to find a way to refresh his financial fortune and get McNab's permission for their children to marry. These include a game of golf at which both try to cheat and a miracle new dieting pill which is in fact just a caramel sweet.
