Synopsis

Two rural men are picked at random for parts in a film production in which they are to play a millionaire and his chauffeur. After an accident while shooting a scene, the car they are in runs out of control and ends up crashing into a sanatorium. The director, believing that a real millionaire has arrived at the financially-struggling establishment, puts them up. They are forced for a while to live as imposters until matters are eventually resolved.
