Prodigal Sons

As family fortunes are lost, wayward sons learn they might need to make some adjustments in their lifestyles. That is unless they can find the right young heiress to marry.

Two male heirs and recently divorced Walker Inman and Jimmy Cromwell return to their mothers Nanaline Duke and Eva Stotesbury for pampering before they re-enter the dating market. Walker twice won his Reno divorce from his showgirl ex-wife, whom Nanaline pays off to stop the ongoing scandalous press. Jimmy considers entering a career in politics if his stepfather Ned Stotesbury will fund the venture.

Other people and subjects include: Doris Duke, con artist Dapper Dan Collins, Ned Stotesbury, Evalyn Walsh McLean, Reno divorce, Whitemarsh Hall, Dodge fortune, Anna Dodge, Delphine Dodge, Christine Cromwell, Louise Cromwell, General Douglas MacArthur, Ziegfeld Follies, Great Gatsby, British royals, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Al Smith, Buck Duke, Nanaline Holt Inman Duke families, Count Victor Lustig, and second sons or lesser heir in dysfunctional family dynamics.
