Arthur Bach is a spoiled alcoholic from New York City, who likes to be driven in his chauffeured Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith limousine through Central Park.
Is alcólach millte é Arthur Bach as Cathair Nua Eabhrac, ar maith leis a bheith á thiomáint ina limisín chauffeured Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith trí Central Park.
Arthur is heir to a portion of his familys vast fortune, which he is told will be his, only if he marries the upper class Susan Johnson, the daughter of a business acquaintance of his father.
Tá Arthur ina oidhre ar chuid d’ádh mór a theaghlaigh, a deirtear leis a bheidh aige, ach má phósann sé an rang uachtarach Susan Johnson, iníon le haitheantas gnó a hathar.
He does not love Susan, but his family feels that she will make him finally grow up.
Níl grá aige do Susan, ach mothaíonn a teaghlach go gcuirfidh sí air fás suas sa deireadh.
During a shopping trip in Manhattan, accompanied by his valet, Hobson, Arthur witnesses a young woman, Linda Marolla, shoplifting a necktie.
Le linn turas siopadóireachta i Manhattan, in éineacht lena valet, Hobson, feiceann Arthur bean óg, Linda Marolla, ag siopadóireacht muince.
He intercedes with the store security guard on her behalf, and later asks her for a date.
Déanann sé idirghabháil le garda slándála an stórais thar a ceann, agus iarrann sé dáta uirthi ina dhiaidh sin.
Despite his attraction to her, Arthur remains pressured by his family to marry Susan.
In ainneoin a mhealltachta di, tá brú fós ar Arthur a theaghlach Susan a phósadh.
While visiting his grandmother, Martha, Arthur shares his feelings for Linda, but is warned again that he will be disowned if he does not marry Susan.
Agus é ag tabhairt cuairte ar a sheanmháthair, Martha, roinneann Arthur a mhothúcháin do Linda, ach tugtar rabhadh dó arís go mbeidh díomá air mura bpósfaidh sé Susan.
Hobson, who has been more like a father to him than Arthurs real father, realizes that Arthur is beginning to grow up, and secretly encourages Linda to attend Arthurs engagement party.
Tuigeann Hobson, a bhí níos cosúla le hathair dó ná fíor-athair Arthur, go bhfuil Arthur ag tosú ag fás aníos, agus spreagann sé go rúnda Linda chun freastal ar chóisir rannpháirtíochta Arthur.
Hobson confides in Linda that he senses Arthur loves her.
Tá muinín ag Hobson i Linda go mbraitheann sé go bhfuil grá ag Arthur di.
Linda crashes the party, held at the estate of Arthurs father, and she and Arthur eventually spend time alone together, which is tracked by both families.
Buaileann Linda an cóisir, a bhíonn ar eastát athair Arthur, agus sa deireadh caitheann sí féin agus Arthur am ina n-aonar le chéile, a rianaíonn an dá theaghlach air.
Hobson is later hospitalized, and Arthur rushes to his side, vowing to care for the person who has long cared for him.
Cuirtear Hobson san ospidéal níos déanaí, agus réabann Arthur lena thaobh, ag vótáil chun aire a thabhairt don duine a thug aire dó le fada.
After several weeks, Hobson dies, and then Arthur, who has been sober the entire time, goes on a drinking binge.
Tar éis roinnt seachtainí, faigheann Hobson bás, agus ansin téann Arthur, a bhí sollúnta an t-am ar fad, ar ragús óil.
On his wedding day, he visits the diner where Linda works and proposes to her.
Ar lá a bainise, tugann sé cuairt ar an mbialann ina n-oibríonn Linda agus a mholann di.
At the church, he jilts Susan, resulting in her abusive father, Burt Johnson, attempting to stab Arthur with a cheese knife, though he is prevented by Martha.
Ag an séipéal, jilts sé Susan, agus mar thoradh air sin rinne a hathair maslach, Burt Johnson, iarracht Arthur a scian le scian cáise, cé go gcuireann Martha cosc air.
A wounded and groggy Arthur announces in the church that there will be no wedding then passes out soon after.
Fógraíonn Arthur créachtaithe agus groggy san eaglais nach mbeidh aon bhainis ann agus go n-imeoidh sé go gairid ina dhiaidh sin.
Later, Linda attends to his wounds, and they discuss living a life of poverty.
Níos déanaí, freastalaíonn Linda ar a chréacht, agus pléann siad saol na bochtaineachta.
A horrified Martha tells Arthur that he can have his fortune, because no Bach has ever been working class.
Deir Martha uafásach le Arthur gur féidir leis an ádh a bheith aige, mar ní raibh aon Bach ag obair riamh.
Arthur declines, but at the last minute, he talks privately to Martha.
Tagann meath ar Arthur, ach ag an nóiméad deireanach, labhraíonn sé go príobháideach le Martha.
When he returns to Lindas side, he tells her that he declined again – Marthas dinner invitation, he means – but he did accept $750 million.
Nuair a fhilleann sé ar thaobh Linda, deir sé léi gur dhiúltaigh sé arís – cuireadh dinnéar Martha, ciallaíonn sé – ach ghlac sé le $ 750 milliún.
