Résumé (jaquette) : That wild and crazy guy Steve Martin (Roxanne, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid) stars in this wild and crazy comedy hit "The Jerk".
Steve portrays Navin Johnson (adopted son of a poor black sharecropper family) whose crazy inventions lead him from rags to riches and right back to rags.
Along the way, he's smitten with a lady motorcycle racer; survives a series of screwball attacks by a deranged killer, becomes a millionaire by inventing the "opti-grab* handle for eye glasses - and shows why he's the hottest comic performer in America today.
