There has just been a funeral. Outside the cemetery, the family members are standing and discussing how much their deceased great-uncle, the rich toy manufacturer Th. Olsen, has left behind. The family is waiting for little Cornelius Nielsen, who is always late. When he appears, a lively discussion begins about who Uncle Theobald has appointed as heir.
