While living in a lavish hilltop castle on the California coast, a wildly rich media mogul recruits charismatic foreign dictators as columnists, criticizes one of his own reporters for being too anti-Nazi, and tries to interest America's president in a scheme to acquire much of Mexico. When not publishing fake and incendiary news stories, he enjoys acquiring beautiful, often looted antiquities and creating a private zoo with lions, kangaroos, monkeys, and an elephant named for a character played by his alcoholic movie-star mistress in a film.
