A butler impersonates his tippler boss and falls for a beautiful young maid. However, a notorious gold-digger, who thinks the butler is the wealthy young man he's impersonating, sets her sights on him.
Directed by Lloyd Ingraham, Take the Heir leans on a strong ensemble — Edward Everett Horton, Dorothy Devore, Frank Elliott — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1930.
