About this movie

Oscar®-winning actor David Niven stars as a millionaire with two bored grandchildren who fake their own kidnapping, holding themselves for ransom! In cahoots with the kids is a pair of down-on-their-luck burglars (Darren McGavin and Don Knotts). It doesn't take long for the two young pranksters to discover just how impractical a practical joke can be. The mayhem escalates into an all-out cops-and-robbers chase filled with every bit as much hilarity as excitement.

Ratings and reviews

I thought the story was well put together, and although there were a couple corny lines/jokes, and predictable events that would take place, I liked it overall. I love older movies in general, and Don Knotts made the movie that much better.

The best movie ever. Funny, no cussing, my type of movie

The best back in the day movie.
