Set in 1903, American seaman Henry Adams (Gregory Peck) is stranded penniless in England. Unexpectedly he's given an envelope containing £1,000,000 promising him a job if he can avoid spending the note for the month.
At first, he's mistaken for an eccentric millionaire and has no trouble getting food, clothes, and a hotel suite on credit, friends and romance, just by showing his note. He backs a business venture; but when he can't produce the bank note (it's been hidden by a rival) panic breaks out amongst the shareholders and Adams' creditors. All is straightened out in the end, and Adams is able to return the note to the Montpelier brothers at the end of the month.
