Abstract
A comedy about a dying millionaire who gives his fortune away a million dollars at a time to eight random people from the city directory rather than will it to his relatives who wait like vultures at his deathbed.
Log
This excerpt is of million-dollar winners Emily La Rue (Alison Skipworth) and Rollo La Rue (W.C. Fields) who were greeted by John Glidden (Richard Bennett) with the offer just after being run off the road, crashing their new car they bought for retirement. They decide to use their prize to seek vengeance, buying an army of Ford cars to hunt down road hogs and run them off the road. There are many shots of actors driving and crashing Ford cars
