The Inspector General

An illiterate stooge in a traveling medicine show wanders into a strange town and is picked up on a vagrancy charge. The town's corrupt officials mistake him for the inspector general whom they think is traveling in disguise. Fearing he will discover they've been pocketing tax money, they make several bungled attempts to kill him.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie's plot revolves around political corruption, mistaken identity, and comedy, with no apparent connection to the Christmas season or themes, despite a potential holiday release date."
