Mark Twain - The Million Pound Bank Note
London, 1896: Can penniless Henry Adams survive for a month without spending a one million pound note? Stars Trevor White.
Stranded in London, a penniless young American becomes the subject of a 拢20,000 bet between two wealthy English gentlemen.
Can Henry Adams survive and prosper for a month as the bearer of a 1,000,000 pound banknote?
