Grandeur et descendance (1993)
En dépit de son teint de lait et de ses cheveux blonds, Tommy Patel a toujours cru qu'il était le fils d'un modeste épicier pakistanais. Mais, la trentaine venue, il découvre qu'il a été en fait abandonné à sa naissance par de richissimes parents et qu'il n'est autre que le quinzième duc de Bournemouth. Il apprend également qu'un Américain, Henry, dispose de son titre, mais aussi de son argent, de son château et de sa fiancée. Pour couronner le tout, sa véritable mère, la duchesse Lucinda, déploie tous ses charmes pour le séduire, tandis que la fille dont Tommy rêve, la ravissante Kitty, ne songe qu'à devenir duchesse de Bournemouth et à épouser l'usurpateur. Tommy, qui tient à reconquérir sa place, demande conseil à Shadgrind, un avocat bien étrange...
