Although Count Emanuel lives in a stately castle, he is hopelessly impoverished. In order to maintain his lifestyle, he is persuaded by a good friend to adopt the newly rich self-made millionaire Otto Meier and his family. With a title of nobility, Otto and his family would finally come to social recognition. Emanuel, in turn, would not have to worry about covering his bank account. At first, worlds collide in the dreadful count and the shrill Meier clan - until a common enemy fuses the unequal "adoptive family" firmly together.
