An old millionaire falls in love with a young woman but he doesn't want her to marry him for his money so he tells her he's poor.

She is amazed that he now looks young but puts him off again by saying he still has an old man's body. He gives more of his fortune to the young man and the doctor to transfer torsos. She still isn't satisfied because of his legs. He spends the last of his fortune to swap out his legs and she marries the man he has swapped body parts with because she only wanted to marry a millionaire.
