The Bank Dick (1940)

Egbert Souse, "accent grave over the e", henpecked by his whole family, is recruited to replace a drunken film director, then seems to have captured a
bank robber and is hired as guard in the Lompoc Bank, where Og Oggilby, his daughter's fiance, is teller. Souse persuades Og to embezzle $500 to buy phony stock; then the bank examiner shows up. Can Souse keep him occupied for four days? The climax is an extended chase sequence.
