Sam and Bill, a couple of down-on-their-luck con men, decide to kidnap the young nephew of a prosperous banker in a small Alabama town in order to finance one of their crooked land deals in Illinois. They kidnap the boy, who calls himself “Red Chief,” only to find out he is a menace only the devil himself could love! His uncle finally replies to the ransom, but it is Sam and Bill who must pay if they want to rid themselves once and for all of the holy terror named Red Chief. You’ll laugh until you cry in this adaptation of O. Henry’s most enjoyable creation. Crime really doesn’t pay.
