Fish-out-of-water story with folk hero Will Rogers the unlikely head of a nouveau riche Oklahoma family threatened with bankruptcy in the Great Depression. Rogers bickers with his butler, chastises his wife and kids for their elaborate spending, then heads to Chicago to find a way to finance it all. He brings back a broke Russian prince and throws a party in one last attempt to salvage the family finances. Excruciatingly slow and unfunny, peppered with eye-rolling dialogue like "don't cry over spilled milk".
