A dying man describes the location of a secret money stash to a group of passersby, who descend into a mad cross-country race. The chief problem is that the moral -- that all men are corruptible -- requires making every single character unsympathetic; the result is a bunch of unlikeable people having bad things happen to them. Bad things happening to bad people was Aristotle's definition of comedy but it's not mine.
