Carter, Sr. has his lawyer report that he has been killed on a hunting trip, and at the reading of the will, Van learns that, unless he can support himself within six months with only an old farmhouse left to him as working capital, he will lose the family fortune to his cousin Teddy Brown. Van immediately gets busy and, with the help of Arizona Brown, a visiting Westerner with whom he has fallen in love, turns the old farm into a thriving and very fashionable resort. His chance of becoming a millionaire fading fast, Teddy arranges with actress Edith Trentoni to ruin the hotel's reputation by means of a kitchen strike and a jewel robbery. He succeeds, but old Carter finally appears to turn the villain out and proclaim Van and Arizona a successful team. Written by Pamela Short See less
