Short description

Monty Brewster, an aging minor-league baseball player, stands to inherit $300 million if he can successfully spend $30 million in 30 days without anything to show for it, and without telling anyone what he's up to... A task that's a lot harder than it sounds!

What's left behind the scenes

Quotes read by Chuck Fleming, as played by Peter Jason, are shown between scenes on screen. In one of them, he mentions the “road of excess” which leads to the “palace of wisdom.” This is an allusion to William Blake’s work “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.”
