The Billion Dollar Hobo

In this offbeat 1977 comedy, Tim Conway stars as Vernon Praiseworthy, a lovable but hapless heir to a fortune, who must first endure the hardships of being a penniless hobo before he can claim his inheritance. As Vernon navigates the challenges of life on the rails, he becomes entangled in a dog-napping plot that tests his comedic mettle. Will Geer, as Vernon's uncle, provides a steady presence amidst the chaos, while Mickey Morton and Sydney Lassick play bumbling authorities trying to keep the peace. A delightfully silly sendup of the Great Depression era, The Billion Dollar Hobo is a family-friendly caper that showcases Conway's signature blend of physical comedy and charm.
