Randolph e Mortimer Duke sono due finanzieri di Filadelfia. Louis Winthorpe III (Aykroyd) è il loro delfino, e promesso sposo della loro nipote. Billy Ray Valentine (Murphy) è un poveraccio che si finge cieco per intascare qualche elemosina. Per una scommessa tra i due Duke Valentine entra nella stanza dei bottoni, Louis finisce tra i barboni. Winthorpe rischia il suicidio, ma lo salva Ophelia (Curtis) una caritatevole prostituta. Valentine, intanto, ha un grande successo nel mondo dell'alta finanza.
