A feature-length jewish joke: The heavily indebted Sami Bambus fakes his death, so that his debts are taken over by the greedy heirs, led by the scrounger Prellstein. The putative heir also brings speculators to the scene, and the general confusion can ultimately only be reconciled by the summoned uncle Salomon and by Samis' return from the dead.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic farce, relying on timeless themes of greed and familial conflict. It explores the chaos that ensues from a single deceptive act with rapid-fire comedic timing.

Those who tire of subtle humor will find delight in this escalating series of misunderstandings and greedy schemes. What lingers after the final reel is the cheerful absurdity of human vices. — MovieFinder Editorial
