Only a bumbling bank janitor like know-it-all knucklehead Ernest P. Worrell (Emmy Award-winning comedian Jim Varney) could serve on jury duty and wind up serving time -- in the slammer!

Full of comic inventiveness, a wacky cast of characters, and slam-bang special effects, "Ernest Goes to Jail" is guilty of maximum fun in the first degree!
