Der Milliardär Goddard will ein Slum in Los Angeles aufkaufen um dort zu bauen. Dafür lässt er sich mit Konkurrent Crasswell auf eine Wette ein: Wenn er es schafft 30 Tage ohne Geld im Slum zu überleben, bekommt er das Grundstück. Doch alles läuft anders als Goddard sich das vorgestellt hatte.

Italian (Italiano)
Goddard Bolt, un miliardario senza scrupoli, vuole costruire un centro industriale in un quartiere periferico di Los Angeles del quale è proprietario per metà. L’altra metà è di un altro miliardario, Vance Crasswell che propone a Bolt una scommessa: se riuscirà a vivere per trenta giorni in incognito come un barbone il terreno sarà suo; altrimenti tutta l’area andrà a Vance. Spinto dalla sua presunzione Bolt accetta l’ardua scommessa.
