Mills and Richardson are brothers in Victorian London. They havent seen each other for four decades, and for good reason. When they were young lads, they were part of a multi-youth "tontine" and they are the last survivors of the odd pact. Years before, several parents had tossed about $2,800 each into a pool. As the calendar pages were ripped off, the money began to mount through good investments, until it is now quite a bundle. In an extended series of gags, we see how the other members of the strange lottery have gone to their final destinies. Meanwhile, the brothers are each awaiting the news that the other has died, so the remaining one can have all the money. (official distributor synopsis)
