Based upon a famous O. Henry short story, two crooks think they have an opportunity to make a quick buck by kidnapping a rich man's son. Ironically, the hostage takers become the hostages as they pay through the nose becoming the butts of the kid's stunts.
Unfortunately the movie The Ransom of Red Chief is not yet available on HBO Max.
