Burglar

“A first rate comedy about a second story woman.”

Bernie Rhodenbarr (Whoopi Goldberg) sells books by day and breaks into other people's houses when she needs the money. Her friend Carl Hefler (Bobcat Goldthwait) grooms dogs for a living, and Hugh Wilson's film begins once a job ends with a dead body in the house she just robbed. Now Bernie is the only person who can be placed at the scene, so she has to clear her name of the murder without being charged for the burglary.
