How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

When a restless, creative and ambitious window washer named J

Pierrepont Finch finds a book titled 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' he decides to begin his rise up the corporate ladder. With the book's instructions and a dose of his own cleverness, Finch lands a job at the World Wide Wicket Company, before quickly gaining promotions and outsmarting his sneering, snivelling rival Bud Frump- who also happens to be the boss' nephew. But when Finch's manual to success can no longer save him he must rely on his own wits, and ultimately his heart, to save the day.
