WILL HAY IN WHERE THERE'S A WILL - 1936

Where There's a Will is a 1936 British comedy film directed by William Beaudine and
starring Will Hay, Graham Moffatt and Norma Varden. It features an incompetent
solicitor who unwittingly becomes party to a bank robbery.

Will Hay plays the pennyless, bungling solicitor Benjamin Stubbins, who arrives at
his office to find his insolent office boy (Graham Moffatt) with his feet up on the
desk, reading a wild west magazine, which Hay confiscates so that he can read it
later. Stubbins later takes a job from a group of Americans who claim they want him
to track down some ancestors of theirs in Scotland. In reality however they want to
use his office so they can rob a safe in the room immediately below his office.
Stubbins takes the job (which is designed to keep him out of the office).In the end
Stubbins realises his mistake and at a Christmas Eve fancy dress party he informs a
group of carol singing policeman about the Americans nefarious activities.
