Bernice "Bernie" Rhodenbarr is a burglar by trade, and she runs a bookstore as well. Her friend Carl Hefler is a dog groomer. After a successful burglary, it's discovered that a dead body was in the house she burgled. As she's the only one who can be placed at the scene of the crime, she has to use her criminal skills to clear her name of the murder AND avoid getting charged with the burglary.
Editor's Verdict
"The provided information for 'Burglar' (1987) indicates a standard crime/comedy plot centered on a burglary, murder investigation, and the protagonist clearing her name. There is no indication within the summary that the story takes place during the Christmas season or that Christmas plays any thematic or plot-driving role. Therefore, it fails to meet the core criteria for Christmas movie classification."
