The Double McGuffin (1979)

Description

ACADEMY AWARD winners Ernest Borgnine (Marty) and George Kennedy (Cool Hand Luke) star in this family-friendly thriller from writer-director Joe Camp (Benji). Homer (Greg Hodges) finds a briefcase full of money in the woods, but when he comes back with his prep-school friends, the case is gone- with a dead body lying in this place. That’s missing, too, by the time they summon Police Chief Talasek (Kennedy), but soon they see a mysterious stranger, Firate (Borgnine), holding the case and begin to investigate. Aided by Jody (Lisa Whelchel), who runs the school paper, the boys stumble on a Middle Easter murder plot, and race to prevent a killing during the annual homecoming banquet.
