The Bank Dick

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a small town in the United States, a lover of simple living and good humor finds himself caught up in the entanglements of crime and corruption. Played by the hilarious W.C. Fields, our protagonist is a man who would rather spend his days in a local bar than deal with the demands of adult life. However, his tranquility is disrupted when his daughter introduces him to a friend who turns out to be a private detective. At the same time, he is given the opportunity to help a local bank catch a group of thieves that has been lurking in the area.

As he becomes more involved in the investigation, the protagonist stumbles upon a series of misunderstandings and comedic situations that take him from promotion at the bank to becoming a local hero, all while trying to evade the responsibilities of a normal job. Amid the madness, which includes a hilarious confrontation with criminals, a display of clumsiness, and his unmatched talent for getting into trouble, the protagonist teaches us that sometimes life can be more fun than one expects. With absurd humor that never loses its shine, this comedy of errors explores the adventures of an ordinary man in a world of craziness and miscreants, where wit and a lack of common sense become his best allies.
