The English version:
Is there real free-lunch in the world? Maybe there is! And such kind of “free lunch” strikes the poor and honest young man Henry Adams who has surprisingly got a one-million bank note from the brothers (Roderick & Oliver). From then on, he becomes a bright focus of the money-priority society. Later, the lucky young man experiences two sharply different treatments in the tailor shop, served in cold should and contempt at first but flattery soon after the large bank note is shown. In the ball, people from every social class try every chance to show their friendship and flattery to the new millionaire. Fortunately, Henry meets Potia and gain love from this beautiful woman.
As we all know, the whole story roots from the bet of the brothers. What is the bet actually? Where does the attraction of the bank note lie in ?

Plot Synopsis

Zestful adaptation of Mark Twain's classic satirical short story. Ronald Neame's fluid direction is full of vigour and Geoffrey Unsworth’s attractive TechniColour cinematography wholly captures Victorian-era England.

London, 1900. Two old, eccentric, and extremely wealthy brothers, Oliver and Roderick Montpelier (Ronald Squire, Wilfred Hyde-White), draw a currency note for a million pounds from the Bank of England. They need it to settle an argument. One of them believes that such a note would be useless to any poverty-stricken man; the other believes that just by possessing it one could live like a lord. They decide to test their theories, and select a penniless young American seaman, Henry Adams (Gregory Peck), to keep the note intact for 1 month. Initially the plan is a great success, when Adams visits a café and produces the note to pay his bill; pandemonium sets in and he becomes regarded as an eccentric American millionaire.

Adams never has to spend a penny because his credit rating is so good and is soon living in a luxurious hotel suite, wearing expensive suits and mentioned in the Court Circular. No one asks that he pay bills, these are forwarded for later payment. A mischievous fellow hotel guest steals the note when Adams takes over his room, but later returns it when debt collectors line up demanding to see the note. He returns the note to the brothers and goes off to marry his fiancée (Jane Griffiths), his future assured.
