English version:
Is there really a free lunch in the world? Maybe there is! This kind of "free lunch" touched henry adams, a poor and honest young man, who unexpectedly borrowed from two brothers (Roderick & Oliver). Since then, he has become a bright spot in the money-oriented society. Later, the lucky young man experienced two completely different treatments in the tailor's shop. At first, he was cold and contemptuous, but he was soon flattered after the big money was displayed. At the ball, people from all social classes took every opportunity to show their friendship and flattery to the new millionaire. Fortunately, Henry met Portia and got the love of this beautiful woman.
As we all know, the whole story originated from the bet between the two brothers. Actually, what's the bet? What is the attraction of paper money?

synopsis
Enthusiastic adaptation of Mark Twain's classic satirical short stories. Ronald neame's fluent directors are full of energy, while Geoffrey Unsworth's attractive technical film photography completely captures Victorian Britain.
London, 1900. Two old, eccentric and extremely rich brothers, Oliver and Roderick Montpellier (Ronald Squire, played by wilfred Hyde-White), withdraw a million-pound note from the Bank of England. They need it to settle disputes. One of them thinks that such notes are useless to any poor person; Another view is that as long as one has it, one can live like a nobleman. They decided to test their theory and chose a penniless young American sailor, henry adams (gregory peck), to keep the notes intact 1 month. At first, the plan was a great success. Adams came to a cafe and took out the money to pay the bill. Chaos began, and he was considered an eccentric American millionaire.
Adams never spent a penny, because his credit rating was very good, and he soon lived in a luxurious hotel suite, wearing an expensive suit, and mentioned it in the court notice. No one asked him to pay the bills, which were transferred to be paid later. When Adams checked into his room, a mischievous hotel companion stole the note, but later, when the debt collectors lined up to see it, he returned it. He returned the note to his brothers and then married his fiancee (Jane Griffiths), and his future was guaranteed.
