"How to Frame a Figg" is a 1971 American comedy film starring Don Knotts, Elaine Joyce, and Edward Andrews. The film follows the misadventures of Hollis Figg, a bumbling bookkeeper who works for a small-town government. When the Mayor and other city officials realize that their embezzlement scheme may be discovered, they purchase an old, unused computer to cover their tracks.
Hollis is appointed as the caretaker of the new computer, with the understanding that he will never figure out how to use it. However, Hollis becomes increasingly confident in his abilities with the computer and begins to assume a more significant role at City Hall. He starts to question some of the financial practices of the city government and stumbles upon evidence that suggests that embezzlement is afoot.
With the help of a savvy reporter, Hollis sets out to uncover the corruption within City Hall. Despite the Mayor's efforts to silence him, Hollis emerges as a hero and exposes the nefarious activities of the corrupt officials.
Throughout the film, Hollis is portrayed as a lovable and clumsy character who becomes increasingly competent as he gains confidence. Don Knotts' comedic timing and physicality make for a highly entertaining performance. The film received mixed reviews upon its release but has since become a cult classic among fans of the actor.
