Unlike their predecessors, however, they are catching fewer fish every year-which is one reason that U.S. fish prices are rising so fast...
...vehicular maintenance and the prevention of marital discord make him first a hostage, then an accomplice. Captain Tanner (Ben Johnson), the cop who organizes the comical pursuit of the miscreants, must ride herd on his trigger-happy associates. He must also keep the inevitable crowds of reporters and television crewmen from turning events into a media circus. In neither endeavor is he entirely successful...
