Overview
Incompatible fugitive recovery agents, the flighty Jersey Bellini and his more serious-minded female partner, B.B., have, for the last time, ticked off mobster Wald by apprehending his rather inept henchmen just as they are about to commit a robbery or kill one of Wald's enemies. That's when Wald turns their fate over to the ruthless Crazy Carlos, with the intention of having Bellini and B.B. killed. But the hapless bounty hunters keep having good luck just when they need it most.
