Le monde des musicals

Wilberforce, Jeremiah and their mother Clementina Tuttle will inherit a lot of money from a well-intentioned relative provided they can all hold down a proper job for at least a month. The two men take a job at a posh hotel as cocktail waiter and cook, and when that falls through they end up disguised as lady shop assistants and part of a sultan’s harem, and further jobs in the Arctic and in the tropics. Mother ends up working as a singer in a Wild West saloon bar. With all three working in the Wild West they fortunately hit lucky with a gold strike and are able to return to a wealthy life bacjk home without having to worry about the inheritance.
