How to Frame a Figg

1971 · 1h 43m · Comedy, Family · United States of America · Rated G (US)

Runaway hilarity when Don Knotts runs down City Hall...in search of the buried secrets of a gang of crooked politicians. The movie the entire family will enjoy!

Don Knotts is Hollis Figg, the dumbest bookkeeper in town.
