Description:
After the Earl of Gurney dies in a peculiar accident involving cross-dressing, his schizophrenic son Jack inherits the family estate. Jack is an unusual nobleman, known for singing, dancing, and believing himself to be the reincarnation of Jesus. The Gurney family, convinced Jack is unfit to manage the estate, schemes to seize his inheritance. Their increasingly outlandish plans repeatedly fail, leading them to desperately try to "cure" Jack, with unfortunate consequences.
