An American billionaire, Greenleaf, sent to Italy Tom that he returns in America his son, Philippe, who leads an existence as golden as useless, together with his mistress, Marge. If Tom makes a success, he will affect five thousand dollars. Philippe despises Tom and does not stop humbling him. Tom understands that he will never decide on Philippe to return. No matter, Tom has now bigger appetites still. He blurs Philippe and Marge then, only aboard a yacht with the idle young person, kills him and throws him to the water. He makes up Philippe's passport, copies his signature then empties his bank account.
