Instead, he finds himself besieged by the social ambitions of his wife, the romantic entanglements of his daughter, and a parade of pretentious artists, opportunists, would-be aristocrats and assorted schemers who seem determined to spend his money and control his future. As Reeves is drawn into increasingly absurd situations at home and abroad, he gradually realizes that retirement is far less relaxing than he imagined, leading to a humorous battle of wills in which he must finally stand up for himself and reclaim his freedom.
