A millionaire is shown, at center, in familiar surroundings at home, “Dignified, important and respected.” Surrounding vignettes show him while traveling through major European cities, where he is ignored, ridiculed, laughed at as the butt of practical jokes, and sometimes prone to boorish behavior at the gaming tables in Monte Carlo.
