Ernest P. Worrell, a kind but clumsy bank janitor, has his life turned upside down when he's called for jury duty. He discovers his doppelganger – a notorious crime boss – has been secretly replaced in his place in jail. With his freedom on the line, Ernest must navigate the dangerous criminal world, avoid enemies, and expose a conspiracy to prove he's innocent. This exciting adventure shows the once-unassuming janitor discovering courage and heroism as he fights against impossible odds.
