"Other People's Money" explores the covetousness of an eccentric, yet prosperous venture capitalist, Larry Garfield (Danny DeVito) who has found a faltering New England Wire & Cable business that looks better broken up and sold at a huge profit, than it does active on paper.

The extreme arrogance and aggressive behavior gives the impressio!
