Two bank robbers, Dennis and Hal, are on the run from the police after a successful heist. Needing somewhere to hide the loot, they turn to a funeral parlour where they stash the cash in Hal's recently-deceased mother's coffin. Taking the coffin, they turn to Hal's father and hide it in the bathroom of his hotel. Before long the hotel is host to the eccentric Inspector Truscott.

The film constructs its comedy from the sheer absurdity of the premise, contrasting the solemnity of a funeral home with the bumbling desperation of its criminal protagonists. It relies on a classic farcical structure where a simple plan unravels into glorious chaos.
What lingers after the credits is the delight in its playful irreverence and the sharp timing of its cast, turning a macabre setting into a stage for relentless, witty mishaps. — MovieFinder Editorial
