This is not a sequel to "Six Against the Sea," "Seven Against the Sea,"
"Nine Against the River" or "Ten Against the Sea." Look at the word "against"
for a long time. Doesn't it look misspelled? That's some craziness right there. |

The five against the house are a group of college buddies
including Wild Bill Hickok ... |

They have lots of fun together, going to casinos and such in between
classes at good old not-at-all-fake-sounding Midwestern University. |

Anyway, those are four of the five. And the house they are against
is Harold's Club in Reno, which is a casino which is filled with money. |

Oh, and this is important to know -- Uncle Bill goes crazy whenever
anyone tells him he has hair like Donald Trump.

The fifth member of the group is Kim Novak, who is Wild Bill
Hickok's girlfriend.

Future Sinbad is the mastermind of the heist, which involves
the incredibly complicated scheme of putting
a tape recorder into a cart. |

The plan goes into action with a 1949 Ford, a psychotic war vet and what's left of
Lucy and Desi's house from "The Long, Long Trailer." What could go wrong? |

On the day of the robbery, the guys dress like cowboys.
Their quarry is a heavyset guy wearing his wife's western shirt.

Alas, the plan fails when Sinbad forgets to put batteries in the
tape recorder. And somebody calls Uncle Bill "Trump," so he
gets mad and runs into an elevated parking garage. |

"Uncle Bill! It's me, Wild Bill! You're not standing behind me
with a loaded gun or anything, are you?" |

Uncle Bill finally breaks down and agrees to consider medical care.
And he reveals his darkest secret:
"Did I ever tell you I once saw Eddie Albert in his underwear?" |
Bravo! This is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYour talk of Uncle Bill brings to mind a fabulous blog I follow: http://embarrassingtreasures.com/ She's reviewing each episode of "Family Affair" and is currently in season 2. If you have a moment, you should check it out.
Thanks, I will! I have to admire anyone gutsy to wade through all six seasons of that show.
