- Summary
- When Keith Stapperpfennig and his family give their grandfather the trip of a lifetime - an all-expenses paid holiday to any destination in the world - the eccentric old man arbitrarily chooses China, and he asks Keith to accompany him. But when Keith loses all the money for the journey at a casino, he goes into hiding - mostly under his desk - and his grandfather - equally uninterested in actually travelling to China - heads down the road to engage in a similar subterfuge. But when his grandfather dies unexpectedly, Keith is left to continue the farce alone.
