Plot

When a wealthy and eccentric game designer named Milton Parker passes away, his potential heirs are summoned to hear the reading of his will. Much to their surprise, they learn that Milton has devised an unusual challenge to determine the beneficiaries of his immense fortune: a scavenger hunt. The contestants, including a crafty lawyer, a bumbling chauffeur, a conniving relative, and an innocent family man, are given a list of peculiar items to collect within a 24-hour period. The team that gathers the most items will inherit the entire estate.

Chaos ensues as the eclectic group of contestants races against each other and the clock, scouring the city for the odd and elaborate items on Milton's list. Their frantic attempts lead to a series of comedic mishaps, wild encounters, and unexpected alliances. Tensions rise as the hunt progresses, revealing the true nature of each competitor’s greed and desperation. Clever strategies, outlandish schemes, and slapstick humor mark their efforts until only time will tell who emerges victorious.
