Plot
A put-upon chauffer Willard Fillmore (Macdonald) concocts a scheme to get even with his mean employer, Miss Virgina Crock (Stritch). With the help of his best friend, Rusty P. Hayes (Chapelle) he kidnaps his employer's dog in order to ransom it for a lot of money. When she mis-interprets the ransom note, she thinks it's Willard who's been kidnapped. Willard and Rusty then convince a disgusting employee from the morgue, Grover Cleaver (DeVito) to help them try and resolve the situation.

'Hilarity' ensues.
'Wood'-ness
Move along. Move along. No Ed to see here. Just Glen or Glenda on the TV as the channel is flipped.
