How would you like to be able to travel back to 1930 and buy goods (now collectors items or antiques) at their prices?
Martin Wilson, hotel owner and father of the beautiful Diane, accidentally gets transported back to 1930. One year later after being made redundant, 25 year old Jack Carter takes a holiday and meets Diane with whom he falls in love. He discovers how to travel back to 1930 and spends the next three months looking for her father and helping to keep the hotel afloat.
Jack is enthralled by the pace of life he encounters in 1930 and discovers he can finance his adventure by bringing back items from then and selling them in 2005 as collectors items or antiques. Whilst there he buys an Austin 7 and travels to many locations seeking Martin, leading him into several thrilling and amusing romantic adventures.
Jack's search is not helped by the different situations that Martin gets himself into. How will Martin, who is aged 66, survive without any money or goods in the earlier era and will Jack be successful in finding him?
