Bank janitor Ernest P. Worrell is called to jury duty and soon finds himself in trouble when the lookalike defendant's attorney arranges a switch and has Ernest sent to prison in his client's place. While Ernest struggles to deal with prison life, his criminal double decides to use Ernest's job at the bank as an opportunity to rob it. Will Ernest be able to break out of prison in time to stop the robbery and expose the mix-up? (official distributor synopsis)

After this movie, I'm starting to think that Ernest as a character makes a little bit of sense, but it's mostly because of the confrontation with his doppelganger. It's not great in that respect, but some ideas can be a bit surprising and don't fit into a normal comedy in terms of their bizarreness. Jim Varney isn't for everyone, but some people will enjoy it.
