He has big ideas, and an unerring instinct for a quick profit. From his natural habitat of Texas, Henry comes to New York in search of "mullets" - which is Texas-talk for well-heeled potential investors
But his attention is diverted when he meets the attractive Molly Thatcher, a struggling young Wall Street securities analyst. Molly's interest in Henry derives from the fact that she hopes to sell him shares in Universal Widget
This happens to be a mysterious little company which has been turned over to Molly as her last chance to make good and hold her job. Henry's interest in Molly is of a more romantic sort, but he is delighted to chat about widgets (for openers)
After which it's on to a series of wild escapades-ending up first in the clutches of the Justice Department - they are innocent, as it turns out - and then in each other's arms
