Synopsis

"Henry A. Perkins, a mild-mannered C.P.A., accidentally picks up the wrong briefcase - one stuffed full of money. Henry assumes it is illicit cash and he decides to keep it. Knowing that the former owner must have his briefcase, he rushed home to book one-way fares to Barcelona. He tells his confused wife to leave everything behind; if she doesn't like Barcelona, they can go to Bali. In fact, they can buy Bali! The doorbell rings as they wait for their taxi. A police detective arrives thinking Henry is dead because a man carrying his briefcase was found in the Thames with bullet holes in his head. Embroiled in an impossible situation, Henry's inept attempts to extricate himself and the cash lead to increasingly hysterical situations."
