- On a Wednesday in New York City, Sidney Becker (Zack Norman) persuades a bookkeeper named Simon (Michael Emil) to help embezzle money from Simon's company, a gambling syndicate. At his office, Simon tells various collectors to take the day off, as the district attorney's office staff will be out investigating the following day, but they will not be able to make arrests. They are to resume collections one day later than usual to avoid suspicion.
The next day, Sidney steals the money as planned. In a parking garage, the men divide the cash into ninety-six packets, wrapped in tinfoil and hidden in their limousine's car tires. As they leave town, Simon pretends to be a chauffeur, and Sidney informs Simon that their plane to Costa Rica is delayed until Monday. Simon panics and thinks that they will get caught, but Sidney is giddy from committing the crime.
At a gas station, Simon announces he is tired of driving, and switches places with Sidney. To Simon's dismay, Sidney pays Moose (Richard Romanus), an aspiring songwriter, to be the chauffeur. Simon thinks it is crazy to involve a third person in their crime. After arguing, Sidney agrees to pay the chauffeur with his share of the money. Simon warns Sidney to keep his mouth shut.
The men check into a Holiday Inn, where Sidney and Simon join Moose, jamming on his guitar by the pool. Another guest named Jenny (Patrice Townsend) shows Simon some yoga positions. Later, Jenny and "the bad guy," (Henry Jaglom) her traveling companion, join the men for dinner. When Sidney asks about the nature of Jenny's relationship, she explains her partner is just "a friend." As Jenny and Sidney flirt, the bad guy abruptly leaves. Sidney later finds Jenny in the bar, where the bad guy has left her stranded without money to pay for the room. Sidney brags that he has a lot of money and tells her about his plans to travel to Miami, Florida. He showers Jenny with compliments and confesses how much he wants to make love to her.
Meanwhile, Simon invites Leona (Irene Forrest), the hotel waitress who has just quit her job, to watch television in his room. She is confused about her future, and Simon invites her to join him on his trip. When she hesitates, he tells her he is more interested in companionship, and offers to share his large supply of multivitamins. Later, Simon discovers an intoxicated Sidney by their limousine, trying to access the hidden cash. Simon convinces Sidney to use his credit cards, and save the cash for Costa Rica.
On Friday, the men resume their trip with Jenny, Leona, and Moose at the wheel. When Sidney takes over the driving, Moose serenades everyone with his original compositions. At the Weeping Willow Motel, Jenny tells Sidney she would be more comfortable staying with him if she knew more about him. As Sidney tells her one lie after another, Jenny resists his advances.
Soon, Simon wanders over to Leona's room, and discovers the door is unlocked. He wakes her, but fails to persuade Leona that he is a great lover, and seeks comfort in a hot bath. Suddenly, Sidney climbs into the tub with him. Simon is horrified and insists he leave but Sidney is angry that they are rich but have no women to enjoy. When Sidney suggests they hire prostitutes, Simon calls him a deviant. Simon is content to do hand exercises with a muscle gripper, while Sidney claims that he prefers sex. Meanwhile, Jenny makes love with Moose.
Sidney and Simon stop arguing to discover the limousine has been vandalized. Although the car is ransacked, the thieves did not find money. As the trip continues, Jenny confesses to Leona that there is something weird going on. Meanwhile, Leona is attracted to Simon, but Jenny warns her not to trust him. Away from the limousine, Simon blames Sidney for revealing too much about their plans. When Sidney swears that he has been careful, Simon fears that his mobster employers are following them. Nevertheless, Jenny tells Sidney he is a very sweet man and invites him to make love at the next stop.
In the hotel restaurant, Leona continues to air her neuroses to Simon, and becomes so distraught that she insists on leaving. Meanwhile, Jenny finds Simon at the restaurant, and propositions him with the same pickup lines she told Sidney. Leona later steals Simon's limousine key when she finds him in bed with Jenny. Simon jumps in the vehicle with Leona behind the wheel. He diffuses her humiliation, and cuddles Leona once they are back in the hotel room.
The travelers finally reach Miami, and Moose talks about meeting a powerful executive who will give him a record contract. When the group stops at a stand for tropical drinks, Jenny admits that she was still aroused after Sidney fell asleep, and is curious to see if Simon was as great a lover as he claimed. When she confesses that Simon was true to his word, Sidney tells her that she is disgusting. Jenny responds by pouring her drink over Sidney's head. At a posh Miami hotel, Sidney and Simon plan to be unobtrusive, and then slip away to Costa Rica.
Meanwhile, the bad guy returns, and reminds Jenny that she is an assassin and has a job to finish. His remark makes Jenny cry, and he promises it will be her last job. He tells her to find out where the money is hidden, and where the seaplane is going to land. Once she has her information, she must kill all her companions, even Leona.
Later, Jenny tells Sidney she has a premonition, and suggests he return to New York City. Instead, Sidney promises her anything if Jenny will go overseas with him. Later, Sidney brags about becoming a world power, but Jenny tells him she does not plan to accompany him.
On Monday, Sidney drives the limousine to the dock, Leona reveals that she and Jenny are hired killers, who work as a team. The only way she can be free from her job is to leave the country to hide from her organization. At the dock, the men are unable to dislodge the tires, and Jenny and the bad guy appear. Jenny kills her associate with a machine gun, and hustles her friends into a seaplane. Sidney does not want to leave without his money, but the others drag him on to the aircraft. There, Simon lifts his shirt to reveal the cash is taped to his torso. Sidney is ecstatic until Simon explains he only saved his portion of the money because he would not dream of touching Sidney's half. However, Sidney quickly recovers, and spouts plans to make a bigger fortune once they are in Costa Rica.
