New Yorkers Skip Donahue and Harry Monroe have no jobs and no prospects, so they decide to flee the city and find work elsewhere, landing jobs wearing woodpecker costumes to promote the opening of a bank. When their feathery costumes are stolen and used in a bank robbery, they no longer have to worry about employment — they're sent to prison.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Stir Crazy is primarily a crime/comedy about two men fleeing the law. The 'Holiday Release' noted is likely the only connection, as the plot, setting, themes, and iconography of the film itself do not revolve around Christmas in any meaningful way."
