You never expect the movie to be a thriller, until you finish the first 20 minutes. The movies starts of with a rich family being bought down due to a false scandal imposed on the father. The family is shattered and they (father and mother) part ways. The boy is now determined to make it rich and would do anything to make money. He starts of as counterfeit currency maker and moves to be Pan Am flight pilot. The counterfeit currency business gets the attention of an FBI agent who sets to catch the boy. The whole story then revolves around the FBI agents plans to catch the boy and how he does it. In between there are scenes of the father and son meeting after a long time. A scene on how the boy disguises himself as a doctor and plans to marry a rich girl. This is shattered when the FBI find his whereabouts and reach the house to arrest the boy. The films ends superbly by sharing its bit of thrill and wits.
