Director Richard Donner's family comedy puts two comedic greats together on-screen. In an effort to placate his bratty son Eric (Scott Schwartz), wealthy businessman Bates (Jackie Gleason) promises him any toy in the store. Eric chooses Jack Brown (Richard Pryor), a man just desperate enough to put up with the brat to make some money. But when Jack realizes that Bates ignores Eric, the boy and his toy work together to cook up some just revenge.
