“Guilty of Maximum Fun in the First Degree!”

Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) is a bumbling bank janitor, the kind of man who treats every small chore like a big event, and he has just been called for jury duty. Then a crime boss, Felix Nash (Jim Varney), who looks exactly like him, is covertly switched in his place. John Cherry sends Ernest to jail, where he sets about the only job he has, getting out to prove who he is.
