Synopsis/Details
Charlie is a Las Vegas casino owner who has recently gotten his hands on rare, canary diamonds. In efforts to sell them quickly he calls upon his nephews Jimmy and Freddy in Chicago. The older Jimmy has business to attend to so they agree on sending Freddy to Vegas to pick up the merchandise and bring back to sell. While in Vegas Freddy is seduced by con-woman Desiree posing as a hooker and is robbed. While Desiree now has the diamonds, she herself falls into trouble when she runs into King Sol, a New York crime boss, who she herself has just robbed in hours earlier.
Now in New York and in the possession of King Sol, the fun begins. Freddy and Desiree travel there to get back what Freddy needs. His older brother Jimmy finds out and decides to drive out there because of his fear of flying, and a group of low level crooks get wind of the diamonds. All chaos breaks loose as all these colorful characters cross paths and exchange possession of the diamonds, but who will end up with them in the end?
