What happens

See No Evil, Hear No Evil is a 1989 American crime comedy film directed by Arthur Hiller. The film stars Gene Wilder as a deaf man and Richard Pryor as a blind man who work together to thwart a trio of murderous thieves. This is the third film (in a series of four) featuring Wilder and Pryor, who had appeared previously in the 1976 film Silver Streak and the 1980 film Stir Crazy. The film was released in the United States on May 12, 1989. Released to a mixed to negative critical reception, See No Evil... was the comic duo's last financially successful film as a screen couple. Their next film together, 1991's Another You, was a box office failure as well as a critical one, and it proved to be the last collaboration of Wilder and Pryor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
