## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The 1956 globe-trotting farce bets everything on a rich man’s bet and a valet’s irrepressible optimism. The plot revolves around a race against the calendar as two oddly matched travelers attempt to circle the planet before a self-imposed deadline. By the time they cross continents, the film has spent more time congratulating itself than actually arriving anywhere.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful
