When he arrives for the reading of the will, he discovers that the real heir is a young boy, and that Sach's birth certificate had been forged by family members who don't want the youngster to inherit all the money.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The screenplay was mistakenly nominated for an Academy Award for Best Story when the Academy nominating committee confused this title with the Bing Crosby - Grace Kelly - Frank Sinatra musical, High Society (1956), released the following year. The story writers of this picture, Edward Bernds and Elwood Ullman, graciously declined the nomination.
    • Goofs
      Twig punches Sach through a bookcase, but when Sach and Slip pull him through, Twig isn't tall enough to stick either arm through the bookcase to reach Sach. Even if it could be explained that Twig stood on a ladder or platform (which is never said), visually it doesn't look right. The arm that punches Sach wears a solid black sleeve, while Twig wears a dark coat with a criss-cross pattern.
    • Quotes
      • Terence Aloysius 'Slip' Mahoney: If you're a Jones, you most coitainly are not related to John Paul Jones 'cause you got no heart, no courage, no miles, no scruples. You ain't even got infinitesimal attitude! In words of one syllable -- you're a coward.
      • Horace Debussy 'Sach' Jones: Oh, you gotta admit, Chief -- cowards live a lot longer.
