Short description
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. Fully intending to ignore every one of the kidnappers' demands in the hopes that they do him a favor and murder her for him, the two confused kidnappers have to figure out how they're going get their money, and what they're going to do with the overbearing Barbara.
What's left behind the scenes
- According to Bette Midler, Danny DeVito called her twice after the film's premiere – once to congratulate her, and a second time, twenty minutes after the first, when they began discussing with Midler how bad the film was and that their careers were now over.
