English Summary:
Monty Brewster is a Minor League Baseball pitcher with the Hackensack Bulls. He and his best friend Spike Nolan, the Bulls' catcher, are arrested after a post-game bar fight. A man offers to post their bail if they will come to New York City with him. At the Manhattan law office of Granville & Baxter, Brewster is told that his recently deceased great-uncle Rupert Horn, whom he has never met, has left him his entire $300 million fortune, but only if he can complete a challenge with several conditions.
Brewster can choose to receive $1 million upfront, or attempt to inherit the whole estate by spending $30 million in 30 days. In the former case, the law firm becomes the executor of the estate, collecting a fee for performing this service and dividing the remainder among several charities. In the latter case, Brewster may not own any assets that are not already his at the end of the 30 days. He must get value for the services of anyone he hires, he may donate 5% to charity and lose 5% by gambling, and he may not waste the money by purchasing and destroying valuable objects. Finally, he is not allowed to tell anyone, even Spike. If he fails to spend the entire $30 million, he forfeits any remaining balance and inherits nothing. Brewster decides to take the $30 million challenge, and Angela Drake, a paralegal from the law firm, is assigned to accompany him and keep track of his spending.
Hungarian Summary:
Monty Brewster kisstílű baseballjátékos, aki rég kiöregedett az élsportból, mégis egy álomszerződésre vár. Egy nap megtörténik vele a csoda, fejlett humorú bácsikája egész vagyonát ráhagyja, ami nem kevesebb, mint háromszázmillió dollár. Ám feltételt is szabott a vén csirkefogó: csak akkor juthat ehhez az örökséghez, ha harminc nap alatt elkölt harminc milliót úgy, hogy az utolsó napra egy fillérje, még egy plusz alsónadrágja sem marad. Monty belemegy a játékba, de még csak nem is sejti, milyen kínszenvedés ennyi pénzt elkölteni.
