Plot – Even if Arthur Bach is a grown-up man, he lazily spends his days going from the night club to the restaurant and to car racing. His only problem is to spend money, since he is the son of a billionaire and he’s waiting his dad’s inheritance. The only condition is that he has to unwillingly marry Susan, daughter of a rich industrialist. One day, Arthur meets Linda, he follows her and he falls in love with her. Their relationship isn’t meant to be though, since she is a saleswoman and the daughter of an unemployed man.
