Plot
The American self-made billionaire Cornelius Vandergould is so incredibly wealthy that more people claim to be his friends than is even possible or desirable for him. His father was friends with the nobleman Marquis d'Orsay, so it was always understood that Cornelius would one day marry his daughter, Dina. Since Cornelius now believes that everyone is only after his money, he decides to test the young woman first and introduces himself to her as a certain Fritz Jacobsen. During his journey to meet his prospective bride, the supposed Fritz encounters two shady men who remark on his striking resemblance to the American magnate and persuade him to impersonate Cornelius Vandergould, so now Cornelius is playing Cornelius.
