Hey, bubbles, man! Say man, when I was growing up, if we wanted a jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub. Ophelia feels sorry for Louis and agrees to help him restore his reputation in exchange for a substantial financial reward once Louis is exonerated. Beeks arranges for a street prostitute named Ophelia ( Jamie Lee Curtis) to pretend that Louis is her drug dealer in front of Penelope which results in the end of Louis’ engagement. As a result, Louis’ bank accounts are frozen by the IRS and he is evicted from his Duke-owned home. The Dukes fire Louis and accuse him of embezzlement. Shortly before Christmas, the Dukes use Clarence Beeks ( Paul Gleason), a security expert that they are bribing for information, to frame Louis as a thief, a drug dealer, and a philanderer. The brothers make a wager and plan to switch the lives of Valentine and Louis to see how each of the men react. Randolph and Mortimer begin to debate the issue of nature versus nurture after the incident and decide to conduct their own sociological experiment. As a result, Valentine is arrested in the Dukes’ country club. One day, the Dukes witness an encounter between Louis and a poor black street hustler named Billy Ray Valentine ( Eddie Murphy) in which Louis mistakenly believes that Valentine is attempting to rob him.
Louis’ employers are brothers Randolph and Mortimer Duke ( Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) who are also Penelope’s granduncles.
Louis has all the luxuries of wealth including a butler named Coleman ( Denholm Elliott) and a fiancée named Penelope Witherspoon ( Kristen Holby) who is always more concerned about what her friends at the country club will think about things. Louis Winthorpe III ( Dan Aykroyd) is a wealthy commodities director who works for the prestigious brokerage firm Duke & Duke Commodity Brokers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
