The Poor Rich Man (1918)

Directed by Charles Brabin

Overview

Vantyne Carter is a playboy living in luxury off his father. Vantyne’s cousin Teddy, meanwhile, leads a fine upstanding life—or at least he appears to, so he can curry favor with his wealthy uncle, Vantyne’s father. One day, the senior Carter, fed up with his son’s antics, decides to play a trick on both Vantyne and Teddy. The old man and his lawyer go off on a hunting trip, and then the lawyer returns with news that Carter was killed in an accident.
