The Movie Will Star Hayley Mills

Dateline: Stockholm. In a caper straight out of a bad movie, 18 year-old twins swapped clothing and traded places so that one could escape from jail.

"We knew there was a certain risk of a mix up, so we took some measures," said Lars-Aake Pettersson, the warden for the jail. "But this was apparently not enough. They managed to dupe us."

In a bad TV show, one twin always has a goatee or some birthmark; that way the one actor can play both parts easily. In real life, the convicted twin of the pair had a birthmark on his face -- that problem was taken care of with an ink pen.
