It's Christmas time and Bill Firpo (Nicolas Cage), who manages a restaurant, has just seen his brothers Dave (Jon Lovitz), the clever one, and Alvin (Dana Carvey), the kleptomaniac, released from prison. Bill is an honest man, but his brothers have always been troublemakers, but when his brothers convince him to go to Paradise, Pennsylvania to do a favor for a friend of theirs, things change. They find themselves right in the midst of what must be the easiest bank heist, and not even Bill can resist the opportunity. Of course, they find that though the robbing is easy, they may not find it so easy to get out of Paradise!
