For Love or Money

Doug Ireland, an enterprising hotel concierge, harbors a long-standing dream of building his own hotel on Roosevelt Island. He has been diligently saving tips to secure an option on the property, hoping to escape his cramped living conditions.

Doug meets with billionaire mogul Christian Hanover at the Bradbury Hotel, where he presents his business plan. Christian is impressed and considers investing $3 million, which excites Doug about his future.

When Christian's mistress arrives, Doug is shocked to find that it's Andy Hart, the young saleswoman he is attracted to. This revelation strains Doug's perception of Andy, leading to a heated confrontation between them.

The following day, Doug is approached by IRS Agent Ed Drinkwater, who informs him that he is under investigation. Doug's use of tips for his hotel project has raised suspicions about his reported income.

Christian asks Doug to attend one of Andy's singing performances in his stead. Feeling guilty for his earlier behavior, Doug lies to Andy about Christian's whereabouts to maintain her trust.

After receiving a call from Christian, Doug learns that Andy mistakenly believes he is alone at a party. To prevent an awkward encounter, Doug hires a helicopter to reach the party just in time.

At the party, Doug locks Andy in a bedroom to protect her from running into Christian's wife. During this time, Andy befriends fashion designer Julian Russell, only adding to the tension of the situation.

Despite his intentions, Doug's efforts lead to a complicated scenario when Andy and Doug nearly share a kiss. Their connection deepens, yet Doug remains conflicted about his loyalty to Christian.

At Julian Russell's fashion show, Christian hands over the property paperwork to Doug, but Doug realizes Christian's manipulation. He learns that Andy is being deceived about Christian's commitment to her.

Determined to stop Andy from leaving with Christian, Doug creates a traffic jam on the Queensboro Bridge. He even resorts to borrowing a horse to reach her, illustrating his desperation to reconcile.

As Doug races to catch Andy, she learns the truth about Christian’s scheming ways. Their paths intersect, and an emotional confrontation leads to a revelation about their feelings for each other.

Eventually, Doug and Andy marry, culminating in their journey filled with misunderstandings and deceptions. Their relationship has flourished against the odds, leading them to this joyous union.

Following their wedding, Doug receives a call from Mr. Wegman, who agrees to fund Doug's hotel project after acquiring a copy of his plan. This moment signifies a new beginning for Doug’s dreams.

In a touching finale, Doug and Andy share a kiss in the lift of the Bradbury Hotel, symbolizing their commitment to each other. This moment serves as a celebration of their dreams and love coming together.
