Poor Vincent Price (or lucky if you consider that he's on and off screen in the first ten minutes) as the patriarch of a large and mostly greedy family whom he gets even with through his last will and testament where he organizes a test to decide legally which branch will inherit his estate. All the usual suspects of comedy, good and bad are there, and in spite of the many major names, not one of them is worthy of praise, just pity for finding anything remotely amusing in this script for one of the biggest fiasco comedies of the 1970's.
Such well respected actors like Richard Benjamin, Richard Mulligan, Cloris Leachman, Tony Randall, James Coco, Roddy McDowall and Robert Morley are among those who suffer through the bad material and cliched characters they are forced to play. Poor Avery Schrieber runs around like a lunatic whining over stolen ostriches. The bizarre things that they must steal just get worse and the efforts they go through to get them just give an indication of how low people will go. I've suffered through this several times over the years trying to find one truly funny thing, and the only benefit I found this third time was deciding to toss away the disc where no one can find it.
