How to Frame a Figg
1971, English. Directed by Alan Rafkin.
Runaway hilarity when Don Knotts runs down City Hall...in search of the buried secrets of a gang of crooked politicians. The movie the entire family will enjoy!
Don Knotts is Hollis Figg, the dumbest bookkeeper in town. When the city fathers buy a second-hand computer to cover up their financial shenanigans, they promote Figg to look after things, knowing he'll never catch on. Their plan backfires when Figg becomes self-important and accidentally discovers their plot.
