Multi-millionaire Joe [=McTeague=] (Kirk Douglas) is a GrumpyOldMan bound to a wheelchair, who is going to give all of his fortunes to a member of his family. Joe's relatives bicker amongst each other as they try to win Joe over into giving one of them his fortunes, but it doesn't work, so they hire a detective to track down Joe's estranged cousin Daniel, but Daniel and Joe don't see eye-to-eye, so then there's Daniel's son Danny (MichaelJFox), the favorite of Joe and a professional bowler with arthritis in one of his hands. When the other relatives tell Danny about Joe and his personal nurse (Olivia d'Abo), Danny agrees to help them try to talk him out of leaving his fortune to her.

!!This movie provides examples of:

* MayDecemberRomance: Heavily implied between Joe and his nurse.
* MoodWhiplash: [[spoiler:After the nurse quits her job, Danny's girlfriend Robin, who accuses him of being as greedy as his relatives, dumps him on the spot. It turns out that in the next scene, she was right.]]

Since their usual suck-up failed they had no choice but to hired a detective to find Uncle Joe's cousin Daniel. Unfortunately Daniel turned his back on the family years ago because he and Uncle Joe have different points of view. However there is a second option. If they can't get Daniel there's always his son Danny, played by Michael J. Fox, who is the favorite of Uncle Joe because he was so cute when he was a little boy:D Danny is now grown up and is a professional bowler but is developing arthritis in his one of his hands.

When the other relatives tell Danny about Joe and his personal nurse (Olivia d'Abo), Danny agrees to help them try to talk him out of leaving his fortune to her.
