Plots(1)
After several failed suicide attempts, the depressive young millionaire Arthur Lempereur agrees to go on a tour of the Far East with his valet Léon, his fiancée and her parents. Learning that he is bankrupt, Arthur decides to hang himself, but is talked out of it by his accountant Mr Goh, who makes him a deal. Arthur's death will be assured if he agrees to sign an insurance contract, in which a million dollars will be paid to his fiancée and to Mr Goh, if he dies within the next month. When unknown strangers start taking pot shots at him, Arthur soon regains his enthusiasm for life. He and Léon embark on a desperate mission to try to find Mr Goh to persuade him to annul the contract... (official distributor synopsis)
