A family comedy from 1987, ''[[Ernest Goes to Camp]]'' is the first of the [[Ernest P. Worrell]] series of movies. It introduced the Ernest character onto the big screen<ref>Although it wasn't the first ''Ernest'' movie to be filmed. The character had appeared a year earlier in an obscure movie called ''[[Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam]]'', which sat in the can until 1992.</ref> and launched the movie career of the late [[Jim Varney]].
 
Ernest is a handyman at Camp Kikakee who wants to become a camp counselor, but his [[The Klutz|clumsiness]] and [[Cloudcuckoolander|absent-mindedness]] keep getting in the way. Eventually, he is put in charge of a group of juvenile delinquents that no one else wants to put up with, and he wins their begrudging respect with the help of the camp's owner, [[Magical Native American|Chief Saint Cloud]].

* [[Amoral Attorney]]: Subverted--Krader's lawyer persistently tries to talk his client ''out of'' his various dirty deeds, even when he is within his legal rights.
