Other People's Money

Based on Jerry Sterner's hit Off-Broadway play, a corporate raider with a taste for junk bonds and junk food is intent on devouring New England Wire and Cable - and as many doughnuts as humanly possible.

Wall Street hotshot and corporate raider "Larry the Liquidator" gets more than he bargained for when he descends on a family-owned business run by warm-hearted old patriarch "Jorgy" Jorgenson. Jorgy hires his assistant's daughter, attorney Kate Sullivan, to keep an eye on Larry and an immediate attraction develops between the two. Larry's corporate take-over becomes an intricate mating dance in which he and Kate struggle to maintain the upper hand both in their business affair and in their affair of the heart.
