A poor boarder inherits 30 million dollars from an American soldier whose life he saved during the Korean War. The stingy landlady instantly turns into a completely different person, women swarm around him, and charities ask him for donations. Gangsters come forward and try to kill him. But one day a letter arrives from the bank that says the 30 million dollars was a mistake. He faints. (Source: Korean Film Archive)
