 Gary
Cooper plays Longfellow Deeds, a small-town resident who inherits
twenty million dollars. He naively decides to travel to the city
to give the bulk away to charity, which invites the less-than-ethical
around him to try to have him committed in order to put the money
to their own, more selfish uses.
