Triple-bill of comedies featuring Tom Hanks. In 'Punchline' (1988), medical student Steven (Hanks) and housewife Lilah (Sally Field) both have ambitions to be stand-up comics, and meet while performing at the Gas Station club in Manhattan. Despite their differences in age and class, they fall in love, but tensions arise when they both end up competing for the same prize in a talent contest. In 'Dragnet' (1987), based on the 1950s television programme, Dan Aykroyd plays police sergeant Joe Friday - bumbling nephew of the small screen original. With his new partner Peb Streebek (Hanks), Friday is appointed to investigate the goings-on of a cult run by a porn magazine king (Dabney Coleman) and a television evangelist (Christopher Plummer). Along the way the duo make the acquaintance of the virginal Connie Swail (Alexandra Paul), and earn the enmity of Friday's uncle's former partner (Harry Morgan) - who is now their supervising officer. In 'The Money Pit' (1986), a New York couple (Hanks and Shelley Long) buy a bargain basement house in the country, but when they try to turn it into their dream home, they realise why it was so cheap. Not only do they have to deal with the structural integrity of the building, but also with the conning and conniving builders and plumbers they employ to rebuild it.
