Bankrupt enterpreneur Hermann Hartung is expecting a visit from his supposedly rich uncle Thomas Hoffmann, who emigrated to America forty years earlier. Much to the disappointment of his nephew, Uncle Hoffmann shows up with little more than a few Dollars in his pocket. Bank officialBodo Schmidt has an idea, however: he convinces the uncle to play at being rich, so the value of Hartung's company stock will skyrocket. A tried and true recipe for disaster played out in the Dot.com bust of the 1990s.

Der konkursreife Unternehmer Herrmann Hartung erwartet seinen vemeintlich reichen Onkel Thomas Hoffmann aus Amerika, der vor 40 Jahren ausgewandert ist. Zur großen Enttäuschung seines Neffen kehrt dieser aber nur mit ein paar Dollar in der Tasche heim. Der Bankbeamte Bodo Schmidt weiß Rat: Er überredet den Onkel, Millionär zu spielen, um den Wert von Hartungs Aktien wieder.
