How fast can you make a lot of money, and then how fast can you spend all of it?
In the Depression-era comedy, $1000 a Minute, Roger Pryor and Edgar Kennedy make a bet on these ideas.
A broken and pennyless newspaperman takes part in an experiment where two crazy millionaires are offering a prize of $10,000 to anyone who can spend $1,000 a minute, every minute, for 12 hours straight.
