Wealthy British aristocrat attempts to start over by relocating with his trusty maid to Beverley Hills. Becoming an unlikely hero, continuously saving the day, just wasn?t in the plans.

Where screenwriters learn the form and logline their screen ideas.
That British Guy
Logline for Sixth Sense...
'A young boy who says he can see dead people is helped by a child psychologist who was dead the whole time.'
Actually, I see your point. Even if they had used that as part of the synopsis, I'd still not have seen that movie.
Logline for The Others...
'An overprotective mother overacts outrageously as she fusses over her family who are dead the whole time.'
Unfortunately, I saw that movie.
Don't know why people are always so worried about 'giving it away'. If I gave you the logline for Star Wars or Jaws or Texas Chainsaw Massacre doesn't mean you could come up with the characters or much else. There's an interesting contest that gives out a logline and just wants the first fifteen pages. So they have hundreds of people trying to write the movie. The top few get to go to the next level and finish the script or something like that. But can you image any of the scripts being even close to looking like each other? I wish they published the finalists' first fifteen... maybe they do, but I'm not aware of it.
Santa and an elf 'retiring' to Beverly Hills... hmm, wonder if he has any of that old magic left. I hear there is always a market for Christmas movies. :C)
Starting over after his son dies in a tragic accident, his wife cannot deal with the loss and takes her own life just days later.
His fortune is very intact.
The trusty maid is a traditional english maid , in uniform, however she has a wild streak. She is his caretaker and friend and confidant.
Hero to whatever situation he is thrown into on a weekly basis.
This is a weekly dramedy.
Thank you for your questions.
