When they learn from a message on the answering machine that the owner is out of the country and the man who was going to house-sit can't make it, they spend the night.

The next day, Eddie and Lou are on the run from thugs sent by local gangster Sal Nichols who mistakenly thinks they stole a briefcase containing $60,000.

In the morning, Eddie walks out of the shower and meets Mona Malkin, whose son owns the house.

Eddie and his aunt Connie and uncle Max conspire to get Nichols off their backs for good.
