The Million Dollar Question!
• A wealthy elderly couple die together in
an accident. Soon a man shows up to
claim their fortune, saying he is their
only son who ran away from home as a
boy. Other relatives dispute his claim.
Hospital records show that the deceased
couple were type AB and O respectively.
The claimant to the fortune was type O.
Could he be their son?
