    Where to Watch

A hypochondriac (Edward Everett Horton) is swindled by crooks after his inheritance. Helen: Donrue Leighton. Rodney: William Hall. Shirley: Eve Arden. Martha: Catherine Doucet. Smooth scripting. Ray McCarey directed.

Nervous wreck Horton saves this macabre comedy in which he stars as a hypochondriac conned by crooks who offer him $50,000 that he can spend immediately if he signs over his soon-to-be-inherited fortune of $500,000. (Horton is afraid he'll die before he sees that money.) Horton's nurse, Leighton, however, instills in him, through her affections, a new will to live and they devise a plot to regain the money. Horton threatens to commit suicide unless the crooks let him out of his agreement with them. (His suicide would nullify the contract.)
