U.S., 1925

Buster learns he’ll inherit 7 million dollars by 7 o’clock that night—provided he’s married! The resulting proposal orgy—to, among others, a kilted Scotsman and famed female impersonator Julian Eltinge—leads to an incredible chase by 500 (count ‘em) bridal-veiled women, topped by a boulder-strewn climax.
