Synopsis:

Sir Guy Grand adopts homeless bum Youngman to be heir to his obscene wealth, and immediately begins bringing him into the intricacies of the family business, which is to prey upon people's greed by use of the vast holdings of the Grand empire. They leave no stone unturned as sporting events, restaurants, art galleries, and traditional pheasant hunts turn into lurid displays of bad manners and profiteering. Things climax at the social event of the season, the inaugural voyage of the new pleasure cruiser The Magic Christian.

Comedy about an original and very rich man, Sir Guy Grand, who adopts a drop-out youth as his son and heir, and dispenses his money in a variety of eccentric ways to prove that everyone has his price. From the novel by Terry Southern.
