SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES

“A husband, 6 dogs, a wife, a larcenous chauffeur, an ex-husband, a temperamental maid, 2 bank robbers, a governor, 2 cats, 2 bad cats and a whole bunch of policemen get together to help you celebrate!”

After being falsely accused of robbing a bank, a writer seeks the help of his lawyer ex-wife to clear his name. However, hilarity ensues when he must hide from her husband, who’s throwing a party for law enforcement officials.
