| Summary |
Charlie Babbitt, a callous self-centred young hustler, feels he's been cheated out of his 3 million dollars inheritance. Left only with his late father's prize rose bushes and a vintage '49 Buick convertible, Charlie soon uncovers yet another surprise -- a brother he never knew he had. Discovering Raymond in an institution, Charlie abducts him in a last ditch to extort his "fair share" of the family estate. |
