Value for Money (1955) (Part 2)

Part 2 of the 1955 comedy drama film. When John Henry Broadbent, a wealthy and notoriously miserly Yorkshire industrialist, dies, he leaves his son Chayley a legacy of £62,000, a princely sum in 1955. At first the young man seems to be just as tight-fisted as his father, much to the dismay of this long-suffering girlfriend Ethel, a journalist on a local paper. On a trip to London, however, Chayley decides to visit a nightclub where he meets a beautiful young showgirl, Ruthine. At first Ruthine does not take much interest in Chayley, but when she finds out how much he is worth she decides that he is a catch worth pursuing, and a battle breaks out between her and Ethel for his affections.
