Fred and Emily Hill are leading a boring life in London. They receive
a big inheritance by a rich relative and now they can realize all their dreams.
They leave for a cruise behaving as rich people....but this is the beginning
of the end. Fred falls in love with a fake princess while Emily starts flirting
with Mr. Gordon.
After a shipwreck in which they are close to death, Fred and Emily find out
they are both still in love with each other so they come back home and their
usual life starts again, boring as before.

This is a very funny movie, no murders, but great gags. Hitchcock shows how
much money can change people's life, not always in a better one.
Fred and Emily realize their secret wishes, but they soon discover they are
missing their boring life too much.
