action

Polly Petterson is a major client of Van Geldern Bank, which manages one million in assets. When she tries to withdraw the entire amount, the bank, which has speculated, threatens to go bankrupt. The employee Peter Voss then steals the million and flees. By arrangement, he should hide until the price of copper, which was invested in, rises again. Polly engages the detective Bobby Dodd and follows the apparent bank robber to Portugal, Brazil, the Wild West and Hawaii. There Peter Voss can convince the wealthy Polly of his good intentions - and when the bank is saved, even a wedding takes place.
