Pardon My Past

Former soldier Eddie York (Fred MacMurray) and his friend Chuck are en route to begin new lives when Eddie is mistaken for Francis Pemberton, a wealthy man who owes a large debt to bookie Jim Arnold (Akim Tamiroff). Arnold decides to take Eddie's wallet until he is repaid, forcing Eddie and Chuck to locate Pemberton's family. At the family estate, Eddie is again thought to be Pemberton and is immersed in the man's life, which includes a rocky relationship with an ex-wife and a deceitful uncle.
