A lighthearted post-war comedy about a soldier tasked with the absurd challenge of spending a fortune, built on charm, humor, and the warmth of a man learning what money can't buy.

Monty Brewster is a pennyless, former U.S. Army soldier back from World War II Europe who learns that he has inherited $8 million from a distant relative. But there's a catch: he must spend $1 million of that money in less than two months before his 30th birthday in order to inherit the rest.
