The eighth blunder of the world.

Mr.Magoo is an eccentric millionaire with very bad eyesight who refuses to use eyeglasses and therefore always gets into trouble. During the museum robbery he accidentally gets a priceless gem called the Star of Kurdistan, and begins to trace the way for the arch-criminals whose idea was to steal the gem - Austin Cloquet and Ortega "The Piranha" Peru, while two federal agents Stupak and Anders lead the manhunt for Mr.Magoo himself.

Fun Fact: Even before it was released, the British Federation of the Blind petitioned the British Board of Film Classification to ban the movie as it would "bring ridicule upon blind and partially sighted people". The petition was thrown out.
