Arthur is a sweet, somewhat pathetic character whose millions have left him lonely and with no motivation in life. Arthur is on the threshold of an arranged marriage with a simpering socialite, whom he does not love. Everyone expects Arthur to behave himself, but nobody truly cares for his well-being, with the exception of father-figure butler Hobson and blue-collar shoplifter Linda Marolla. Arthur would prefer to marry the lowly Morolla, but his iron-willed grandmother threatens to pull the plug on his huge inheritance if he doesn't honor his position in life and go through with his marriage.
