I'll Give a Million is a 1938 American romantic comedy film directed by Walter Lang and starring Warner Baxter, Marjorie Weaver and Peter Lorre.
Unable to attract the crew's attention over the sound of the ship's whistle, Tony jumps in to rescue him.
The next morning, the tramp discovers that Tony has taken Louie's clothes and left his tuxedo and money behind in exchange.
Louie insists that an eccentric millionaire, dressed like a tramp, gave him a million francs and will do the same to anyone who is kind to him in his disguise.
Tony is blamed for the rash of phony alarms, taken into custody and sentenced to ten days in jail.
He in turn threatens to accuse Louie of murdering the millionaire and stealing his money and gives him one last chance to find the man.
To prevent a riot, Tony agrees to donate half a million to the poor and the same amount to the city, but only if Jean will marry him.
