The plot concerns two brothers who are the last surviving members of a tontine, an investment scheme set up many years before in which the last surviving member stands to receive a fortune. This sets up the premise with Mills' character trying to kill Richardson's, by way of various fantastical means. Michael Caine plays Mills' son, a dim-witted medical student, and Peter Cook and Dudley Moore play Richardson's two greedy nephews.
