A shy bank clerk becomes a zany, green-faced wild man, charming a singer and battling mobsters.
Pulpy, with big broad humor. A comfort watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.

Timid bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss discovers a magical mask infused with the spirit of the Norse god Loki. Donning it transforms him into an unrestrained, green-faced, cartoon-like wild man. While the mask grants him the confidence to woo a local singer, it also makes him the target of a ruthless mobster.
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
