Tagline: Sam Stone's wife has just been kidnapped... And he doesn't want her back!
Plot: In this comedy from the directing team responsible for AIRPLANE!, two kidnappers discover, to their shock, that the husband (DeVito) of the wealthy woman (Midler) they've snatched won't pay the ransom and is, in fact, celebrating the possibility that she may be murdered.It isn't long long the abductors understand why: their captive, who harangues them with a never-ending stream of abuse, is more trouble than she's worth. But as they get to know her, and learn more about her husband, it dawns on the kidnappers that he's no treasure either -- and that getting abducted may be the best thing that's happened to their victim in a long time.
