Description: In 1903, American seaman Henry Adams is stranded penniless in Britain and gets caught up in an unusual wager between two wealthy, eccentric brothers. They persuade the Bank of England to issue a one million pound banknote, only telling him that it contains some money. Oliver believes that the mere existence of the note will enable the possessor to obtain whatever he needs. Roderick Montpelier insists that it would actually have to be spent for it to be of any use. After Adams discovers how much the note is worth, he tries to return it to the brothers, but they have left for a month.
