Bandits led by Matt the Mute enter a bar and kill multiple people. Randy Bowers comes to town and is framed by Matt the Mute, who is working with the sheriff, who doesn't know that Matt is really a criminal. Matt the Mute writes out everything he wants to say. Randy escapes with the help of Sally Rogers, the niece of the dead owner of the bar. Bowers runs from the sheriff, and ends up in the cave in which the bandits have their hideout. They kidnap Sally, who escapes with the help of Bowers. Matt the Mute is killed when he enters the bar, which is filled with explosives, and the niece marries Randy.。本片由克里欧·巴纳德自编自导，影片改编自罗斯·特瑞美2010年的小说，故事围绕一对力图摆脱过往家庭伤痛的兄妹展开。。由“英国国宝”Stephen Fry和豪斯大叔Hugh Laurie联袂演出，1986年至1995年间，在英国BBC-1台、BBC-2台合共播出四季26集。 不同于主流的情景喜剧，这个节目每集由几个独立小品构成，除了路人甲乙，Stephen和Hugh包揽了剧中的所有角色 ：德国和英国军官，情报局头头和秘书，公司合伙人，五金店老板和顾客，心理医生和病人等等。 剧情以两人的对话展开，针对某一历史事件或社会现象，或明里挞伐，或暗中嘲讽，不时拿上层社会的贵族、政要和名人开涮，时任英国首相的撒切尔夫人、约翰·梅杰亦不能幸免成为揶揄对象。 除了重口味的政治笑料，剧中也有无厘头的冷笑话，英式双关语，以及最简单的肢体滑稽剧。值得一提的是，全部四季的剧本均由Stephen和Hugh两人撰写。《纽约时报》评论道：他们挥洒文字的自如程度，连《窈窕淑女》中的希金斯教授也会嫉...。
