What happens

The Girl, the Gold Watch & Dynamite is a 1981 American made-for-television fantasy-comedy film starring Philip MacHale and Lee Purcell. The film is a sequel to the 1980 telefilm The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything which was an adaptation of the John D. MacDonald novel The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything. The original sequel title was going to be "The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything Else", but was eventually dropped for the punchier "....and Dynamite" to draw more of a distinction between the original movie and the sequel.
