A lighthearted gangster comedy built on the premise of three bumbling Depression-era mobsters trying to outwit their boss, with humor derived from incompetence and memory loss rather than darkness or violence.

Hapless Depression-era gangsters Al, John and Jack find out their boss wants to get rid of them and come up with a plan to sell him to the FBI, but Al's short-term memory loss could make it difficult.
