Deutschland 1937/1938 Spielfilm

Five Millions Seek an Heir

Comedy of mix-ups with Heinz Rühmann in a double role: Peter Pitt is appointed heir to the fortune of five millions of his recently passed away American uncle. But in his last will, his uncle set the clause that Peter has to lead a verifiably happy marriage. To review Peter’s marriage, his uncle’s notary sends a confidant, Mister Blubberbloom, to Germany. But Mister Blubberbloom is interested in the money as well. Thus, he tries to sabotage Peter’s happy marriage with the help of his friend Mabel. After a big night out, they book Peter on a ship to New York to separate him from his beloved wife Hix. But Hix together with Peter’s cousin Patrick Pitt – who looks exactly like Peter – follow the disparate gang. Several misunderstandings and complications later, Peter finally gets hold of his large inheritance.
