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.

At first, worlds collide in the dreadful count and the shrill Meier clan - until a common enemy fuses the unequal "adoptive family" firmly together.
