A Fire Has Been Arranged

Bud Flanagan and Chesney Allen are on leave from most of the Crazy Gang, playing former convicts who go back to retrieve their plunder only to find that it's now covered by a building. The film's title suggests their possible solution to this problem. As comedy it relies too much on Flanagan and Allen's very fragile star-quality, though it does contain a "turn" by the magnificent Robb Wilton. Fans of Michael Cimino's Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, starring Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges, might notice some similarities in the plot.
