Synopsis

A small-town delivery worker inherits what appears to be a respectable insurance business. The men who welcome him believe he has his father's criminal instincts, while he has no idea that they are running a protection racket. His innocence repeatedly disrupts the gang's plans in a comedy built around a reputation he never earned.

Historical context

PRC built much of its business around inexpensive crime pictures and mysteries. Here that familiar gangster material is redirected into comedy, using the distance between a feared criminal reputation and an inexperienced man's actual character as its central joke.
