The Hideout 2

A hapless but well-meaning ex-con, Norman, tries to go straight after his release from prison, but his past keeps catching up with him. He finds himself entangled in a criminal enterprise, forced to use his limited wit to navigate dangerous situations and protect himself and his newfound friends from ruthless gangsters.

• Norman Wisdom's signature blend of physical comedy and underdog charm is present.
