The artistic legacy of Harry Sweet was forever changed by The Milk Bandits, this Comedy landmark continues to dictate the rules of its category. We've assembled a sequence of films that complement the tone of The Milk Bandits perfectly.
The vintage appeal of The Milk Bandits to maintain its cult relevance across several decades.
The action starts off with the mysterious disappearance of bottles of milk, and nearly everybody in town acting as a detective to ferret out the mystery, and in comedy fashion it develops that each one of the "detectives" has been taking the other fellow's milk. Suddenly there is a gold rush when a kid brings in a nugget. All rush to the hills and dig frantically. It develops that a half-wit has gilded a number of stones and buried them so that he can get the cellar for his new house dug without cost.
