Vittorio Gassman is a NYC barber who inherits money from a long lost relative in the UK. However, the money has been hidden in a chair, which he unloaded at an antique store the previous day. The rest of the movie is his episodic search for the chair. Sharon Tate, in her last role, is the antique store girl who blackmails him into letter her help in the search. Orson Welles appears in heavy makeup and wig performing Dr. Jekyll on stage in one of the segments. It's never funny and badly dated, the only interest is to goggle Sharon and wonder what happened.
