Ransom of Red Chief takes place in a 1920’s atmosphere which sets off this zany story of two inept kidnappers. These kidnappers think that snatching the son of a banker in a sleepy Alabama town will make them some fast and easy money. Sam and Bill soon find out that young Johnny (“Red Chief, terror of the plains”) is a handful. They cut the kidnapping short and rush to pick up the money, but find the tables again turned. "Watching this film is an experience of total pleasure. A well-chosen cast and good script contributed to its charming quality."—VOYA. Based on the story by O. Henry.
