Una poltrona per due
Trama
Randolph e Mortimer Duke sono due finanzieri di Filadelfia. Louis Winthorpe III (Aykroyd) è il loro delfino, e promesso sposo della loro nipote. Billy Ray Valentine (Murphy) è un poveraccio che si finge cieco per intascare qualche elemosina. Per una scommessa tra i due Duke Valentine entra nella stanza dei bottoni, Louis finisce tra i barboni. Winthorpe rischia il suicidio, ma lo salva Ophelia (Curtis) una caritatevole prostituta. Valentine, intanto, ha un grande successo nel mondo dell'alta finanza.
Non si tratta solo di far soldi... bisogna anche saldare i conti.
