视频简介
When he learns his days are numbered old count Hervé de Kéraudren decides to hide in a secret alcove and to die there, just to annoy his heirs. As a result of his body not being found the latter will have to wait for five years until they can inherit the count's money. Very upsetting indeed, all the more as they are required to keep up the Kéraudren estate in the meantime. To collect money, nephews and nieces organize a Son et Lumière show at the manor while busily looking for the missing corpse. But, unexpectedly, they get killed in turns. Murders or accidents? Jean-Marie, his fiancée Micheline and his cousin Edwige investigate and finally succeed in exposing the culprit. And, the count's body being found by chance, all goes back to normal.。科恩兄弟在本片中所使用的喜剧表现手法和以往完全不同，似乎他们的幽默在这里已经和黑色告别，烂俗喜剧路线才是王道，不过，影片中的人物依旧保留了一定的讽刺性，漫画感十足，汤姆·汉克斯的颠覆性表演尤其值得一赏。 曼森太太（马龙·韦恩斯 Marlon Wayans饰）和她的猫一起度日，慈祥善良而又充满大智慧的她，却成为了一桩赌场金库劫案的绊脚石。劫案的主谋是盗名昭著的希金森教授（汤姆·汉克斯 Tom Hanks饰）。他自称来在密西西比大学，一举一动充满了诗人的神采，这招可骗过了曼森太太。在希金森的带领下，一大帮社会各色人等进驻曼森太太出租的寓所，在这里，他们佯装排练教堂歌曲，实质是在打通一条通往金库的地下隧道。当然，如此艰巨的任务，请来的各路神通也足够应付。有挖过隧道的将军，有片场的道具师，有赌场打杂的黑人，甚至有一个曾经的美式足球运动员。大家都在努力“工作”，眼看大计就要成功，却怎么也想不到，曼森太太将会成为他们的噩梦……。
