Ted is a horrible human being. His family has money and when his mother died, she left him a trust fund. But Ted behaves as if the money is now his AND it's unlimited! He also behaves horribly...getting himself on newspaper headlines because of his antics. Finally, his father has had enough and cuts off Ted....something that should have happened much sooner.
Ted comes up with an idea. No, it does NOT involve getting a job and staying away from booze. No, his 'solution' for being cut off is that try to make his dad even angrier. So, he marries Dale...a woman he just met...in the hope that Dad will pay her off to leave Ted..and then Ted will split this money with her. Instread, however, Dad wishes them well and privately makes an agreement with Dale...if she can reform him, he'll give her a nice payout.
While Dale tries hard to find them a place to live and work, Ted is just a man-child and quits his job after a few days. And, after going off on a bender, Dale has had enough and leaves him. Somehow, despite all this, there is a really fake happy ending...something that comes too fast and simply didn't make any sense.
The basic idea of this story is very good. But the acting is only fair and the writing even a bit worse. Very watchable but the magical happily ever after ending simply seems out of place.
