WEEK END MILLIONAIRE.

Starring Buddy Rogers and Mary Brian. Pierre, a poor clerk, arrives at the bank too late Saturday noon to deposit his employer's five million francs. He takes refuge for the week-end in a hotel, putting his wealth in the strong room. Mistaken for a millionaire, he is forced into the Royal suite and compelled to wear the clothes of the dispossessed guest, a penniless foreign prince. Pierre's lack of cash causes him many embarrassments, particularly in his wooing of Suzanne, a beautiful countess who also is bogus, being actually a mannequin planted to show off dresses for Gallivert and to help him sell his bad business to a sucker. A trio of Chicago crooks, after they have stolen Pierre's bag of money, are revealed as detectives protecting it. On Monday the bank stops payment and Pierre is rewarded for his foresight in saving the millions by a directorship. He asks for the day off and marries Suzanne.
