When a girl (Kathleen Quinlan) is murdered by assassins, the boob (Gene Wilder) who is accused of killing her is the man she sought to help her. He is then pursued by the killers in a cat and mouse chase across America and seeks to find out why she was murdered.
Weak Mel Brooks type of comedy and parody of Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959) surprisingly directed by Sidney Poitier. Noisy and frantic, the film seems to assume shouting loudly makes for good comedy. Unfunny and then with extended exposure becomes irritating.
