 Uncle Joe is ageing. He s also a millionaire. That s why his family is trying so very hard to get into his good books. They all want a piece of his empire. Unfortunately Uncle Joe isn t as stupid as his family thinks he is. He can see that his family is only nice to him because they want his money. Along comes Daniel McTeague, a struggling bowler, imported from another city by his family, to put an end to this ridiculous situation. The fight won t be easy, though, because the poor family has a little bit of competition - A beautiful nurse who takes care of Uncle Joe (and no doubt would love to take care of his bank account). Who gets all the money?
