Der reiche amerikanische Onkel von Staubsaugervertreter Peter Pitt hat in seinem Testament verfügt, dass Peter die ihm hinterlassenen fünf Millionen Dollar nur erben darf, wenn er glücklich verheiratet ist. Ansonsten sollen die fünf Millionen an Peters schottischen Vetter Patrick fallen. Beauftragt vom Testamentsvollstrecker kommt Mister Blubberbloom nach Europa, um festzustellen, ob Peter mit seiner Frau Hix auch glücklich ist. Der hinterlistige Blubberboom aber bringt Peter ohne seine Frau nach New York und will dort bei der Vorstellung die schöne Mabel als seine Frau erscheinen lassen. Doch auch Patrick, der seinem Vetter zum Verwechseln ähnlich sieht, will das Geld. Er erscheint bei Hix und reist mit ihr zusammen ebenfalls nach New York.
The vacuum cleaner salesman Peter Pitt has a rich American uncle -- or should we say "had" -- who has left $5,000,000 to Peter in his will, but only if he is happily married (as if there is such a thing after the first year). Otherwise, the money will go to Peter's Scottish cousin, Patrick. As the will's executor, Mr. Blubberbloom has arrived in Europe to determine whether Peter is happy with his wife. The sly Blubberboom brings Peter to New York without his wife and wishes to present one of the pretty local women as Peter's wife. Unfortunately, Peter's cousin Patrick, who is almost a dead ringer for Peter, wants the money, too. He shows up at Peter's place and convinces Hix to travel with him to New York.
