Mr. Chedworth Steps Out tells the story of a mild-mannered clerk continually hounded by his wife and unappreciated at his long-time job. After being laid off, he takes a night watchman`s job, where he unexpectedly finds a bagful of money. Unbeknownst to him, the money is counterfeit, and he proceeds to get wrapped up in a series of misadventures that are both funny, dramatic, and suspensful. Also interesting for being the first film of Peter Finch (Network).
