Live Wire - A Day in the Life of an Innocent Kidnapper

Frankie is sentenced to fifteen years for murder: being
innocent, he flips out and takes the newly divorced Daniel
and Anna Trieb hostage. Needing a hideout, they end up
at the Trieb’s summer place. On the way, Frankie kidnaps
the Economics Minister, Jan van Moellerbreit, whom he
holds responsible for his plight. For reinforcements,
Frankie also collects his wife Gloria and his best friend
Cheesie. He needs them, too, because Anna Trieb’s new
lover has already made himself comfortable at the house - with champagne and Viagra! Before Frankie can get the
group under control, Detective Kaminski and his men
already have the place surrounded.
Frankie’s situation would be hopeless, if Kaminski hadn’t
sneaked in to rescue his secret lover, van Moellerbreit; if
Daniel and Anna wouldn’t fight so much; if it didn’t come
out that Cheesie has got Gloria pregnant; if Anna’s lover
didn’t have a painfully permanent erection, and if Sigrid,
Kaminski’s right hand, who is hopelessly in love with her
boss, didn’t have to discover that Kaminski has no interest
in women! It all comes to a dramatic showdown in which
events spin totally out of control!
For anyone who likes fast-paced, well-constructed comedy
with a sense of the absurd, "Live Wire" promises to be a
treat. And for everyone else, it’s still got to be as much fun
as a barrel of monkeys!
