A mildly amusing film about a gang of criminals who have hidden their million dollars for when they come out of prison, with people following them to recover the money. Plenty of known actors in this one, but clumsy film making stops it from being a good one. But that doesn't mean it's not worth a laugh or two. The king of this one was Johnny Arthur who was the reluctant drunk joining the hunt. The rest become a little too bland in their roles to become memorable.
