Money Talks

Sam Starling is a man fueled by the dangerous cocktail of incurable optimism and crippling debt. While his creditors circle and his wife, played by Claire Windsor, prepares to exit a marriage devoid of financial security, Sam remains convinced his next half-baked scheme will strike gold. The narrative pivots from domestic tragedy to high-seas farce when Sam discovers his wife being wooed by a captain on a luxury yacht. In a desperate bid to reclaim his domestic life, Sam infiltrates the vessel using the oldest trick in the vaudeville playbook: drag. What follows is a chaotic collision of gender-bending deception and criminal subplots, as the captain is revealed to be a liquor smuggler. Sam's attempt to lure the captain away from his wife becomes a frantic exercise in survival, highlighting the absurdity of a man who will change his gender before he changes his financial habits.
