"Beware of the Dwarf" whispers the hitchhiker to the beautiful librarian (Goldie Hawn) as he dies midway through a screening of This Gun is Mine. Suddenly Hawn is propelled into a world of wild chases, bizarre attempts on her life, and deadly encounters with an assortment of weird underworld characters. Hawn teams up with Chevy Chase (in his first starring motion picture assignment) - and with hilarious results. Chase plays the handsome San Francisco detective who becomes personally and professionally involved with all the odd things to happening to Hawn. Co-starring a pre - Arthur Dudley Moore in one of his most delightful comic turns. (Shock Entertainment)
