Jojo was counting on his inheritance from a rich uncle to pay off his gambling debts, but the old man played a dirty trick on him, giving him custody of an oversized dog, and leaving the real cash in the hands of one of his neices.

However, as things progress, he finds himself actually falling for her, which is perhaps the only really decent thing that he's done in his adult life.
