Story

What Is the Story of Born Yesterday?
Born Yesterday follows Harry Brock, a hot-tempered and loud-mouthed businessman who owns hundreds of junkyards across the country. Brock heads to Washington D.C. in hopes of bribing senators to amend laws that would prevent Brock’s business from growing exponentially. When Brock realizes his not-so-bright girlfriend Billie may not be the best fit for D.C.’s elite society, he hires a journalist to educate her. As Billie begins to expand her horizons, she quickly realizes Harry isn’t such a gentleman after all and plots to thwart his shady dealings.<
