A couple of not very bright criminals decide to do another job having just got out of gaol: holding up a game of cards organized by the mafia. They turn up for the job looking ridiculous and miraculously all goes well. But then the mafia decides to contact Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) to get him on the case, find the thieves and deal with them appropriately. Jackie, the only one with a grain of intelligence, wants his cut.
