A number of outrageously zany characterizations were delivered in this spoof of Wall Street stock market ethics. Garner sets the whole thing in motion when he comes to analyst Remick to invest some of his "millions." Though Garner hardly has a penny, Remick is told by her always business-minded boss, Backus, to sell him a totally worthless stock.

Both script and direction are aimed at keeping the pace moving swiftly, much in accordance with the practices of Wall Street and greater New York in general. (Verleiher-Text)
