a heist in reverse...fun.

Pleshette, deluise, and a couple other coppers come up with a unique way to catch crooks. Instead of chasing after them, they open a down low pawn shop, and record the thugs fencing stolen goods! Which works great, until the local mafia don tries to muscle in. It's quite good! Pretty fast paced. Nothing too complicated. It's all light and fun. Directed by deluise himself. One of only two he directed.and if you check the cast list, deluise managed to get a whole lot of his family on the payroll. This was just after pleshette had finished with bob newhart.

Deluise had already done blazing saddles and a bunch of his goofy 1970s film.
