Sam Stone hates his wife Barbara so much that he wants her dead. He's ecstatic when she's taken by a duo of kidnappers who want $500,000 ransom in exchange for her life.

Featured Comments/Tips
Good trio of directors for this comedy.
This was edgy comedy the first time I saw it. To be fair, that was 35 years ago. Still a good little giggle.
