An old millionaire falls in love with a young woman but he doesn't want her to marry him for his money so he tells her he's poor. She rejects him because his face and body are too old looking. He gets a doctor to do a expensive face and torso transplant with a large sum of the money going to the young George Booth who is the body donor. She still isn't satisfied because he still has old legs. He spends the last of his fortune to swap out his legs. Now young looking but poor, he finds out she married the now old George Booth because she only wanted to marry a millionaire and George is rich now.
