6 Male 2 Female
Mild-mannered Henry A. Perkins accidently picks up the wrong briefcase - one full of money!
Henry assumes it is illicit cash and he decides to keep it
Knowing that the former owner must have his briefcase, he rushes home to book one way fares to Barcelona
He tells his confused wife to leave everything behind; if she doesn't like Barcelona, they can go to Bali
In fact, they can buy Bali!
Then the doorbell rings as they wait for their taxi.
The police detective at the door thinks Henry was soliciting in the men's room of the local pub - in fact, he was sitting in the loo counting the cash
The bell rings again
Another detective arrives thinking Henry is dead - a man with bullet holes in his head and Henry's briefcase were found in the Thames
Henry's inept attempts to extricate himself from this impossible situation lead to increasingly hysterical situations
