Marrying Money

The plot follows Ted Vandeveer, a lawyer struggling to find clients, who learns he’s inherited a small sum from his wealthy uncle. With just $700 left after settling debts, he and his partner James Sweeney decide to visit a fashionable resort. A mix-up leads them to an exclusive suite meant for Ted's cousin Archie, allowing them to masquerade as wealthy men.

As Ted navigates this new identity, he attracts the attention of eligible women, including Mildred Niles, daughter of a wealthy broker. This comedic exploration of social status and wealth highlights the humorous situations that arise from misunderstandings and deception. The film is preserved at the George Eastman House and the Eye Film Institute Netherlands, making it an interesting piece for collectors of early cinema.
