A poor inventor is pestered by his wife, who complains that he needs to be more realistic. They are always in financial troubles until one day...
Nice comedy, with a good dose of ruthlessness in its depiction of human egoism and what one might call the superior man's burden.
I didn't always keep up with the dialogue.
This film is number 4 in Dale Thomajan's top ten list for 1932.

Obs.: There's a Brazilian novel by Orígenes Lessa called "The Bean and the Dream" ('O Feijão e o Sonho', 1938), which has a slightly similar premise, only it's about a poet instead of an inventor.
