A greedy family loses their Christmas fortune to a secret heir. Their accidental charity to a mysterious actor brings surprising redemption in this witty 1945 holiday classic.
The affluent but deeply indebted Pidgeon family faces ruin when the patriarch, James C. Pidgeon (Eugene Pallette), learns his dying uncle's fortune has been bequeathed not to him, but to an unnamed, unknown actress. As their lawyers frantically search for the mystery heir, James's daughter, desperate to maintain a veneer of charity, convinces her greedy father to perform a single act of kindness: inviting the destitute former actor, Mr. M. (Joseph Schildkraut), to their lavish Christmas dinner.
What begins as a condescending gesture quickly becomes a dramatic pivot point. Mr. M. is not just a hungry guest; he is an eccentric man with a mysterious past and an unexpected connection to the rightful heiress, Florie Watson (Ona Munson).
As Mr. M. navigates the Pidgeons' web of deceit and self-absorption, his presence forces the family to confront their own moral shortcomings. Can this one man, invited in an act of accidental charity, teach a desperate family the true meaning of Christmas before they lose everything? The Cheaters is a sharp, often humorous holiday classic that proves wealth doesn't buy happiness, or honesty.
