Summaries

Two common criminals get more than they bargained for after kidnapping the wife of a corrupt real-estate developer who shows no interest in paying the $1 million dollar ransom for her safe return.

Margaret 'Mickey' Dawson is a housewife, whose husband Frank (Robbins) has been embezzling millions for years without her knowledge. Career criminals Louis and Ordell catch wind of his scam and figure if they hold Mickey for ransom, Frank would have no choice but to pay up big, without realising


Synopsis

The movie opens with a scene where Louis is robbed of 27 dollars by a big bully. His friend Ordell helps him get more than his money back, by running over the mugger with his car. But the two of them have bigger plans that will make them super rich. They will set an extortion on Frank Dawson, a real estate man, by kidnapping his wife Mickey, and then asking for a $1 million ransom. From a friend they have compromising info on Frank's secret bank account in the Bahamas and his shady real estate affairs there.

Mickey takes her son, Bo, to play tennis at the country club. Louis is also there just to take a look at her, but actually happens to talk to her briefly when they meet in a corridor.

A man named Marshall Taylor, a married man who does some work for Frank, is trying to have an affair with Mickey, but she is not interested.

When Ordell and Louis find out that both Frank and the son are going to be away for a week, they decide it's time to proceed with kidnapping. They arrive at the house, masked, and take Mickey by surprise in the kitchen. She drops a glass and cuts her foot. Other than that all goes according to plan, until the suitor, Marshall, arrives at the house, creating





through vents and doors.

Meanwhile, we see Marshall go to the house to clean up after himself. He encounters Richard and thinks he is a police officer. They have an altercation that ends with Richard shooting after Marshall's car.

Escalating the kidnapping, Ordell and his friend Cedric go to Freeport and find Melanie at the pool while Frank is away. Melanie lets Ordell in on the divorce update and serves him a proposition for how the kidnappers can at least get $100000, and even more if Mickey dies. Ordell hooks up with Melanie.

Ordell makes a call to Richard's house about his new plans. Knowing Louis' different way in looking at Mickey, Ordell talks to Richard only, and orders him and Louis to bring Mickey back to her house, but tells Richard to go back in and kill her afterwards, without Louis knowing it.

While Louis is out to 'borrow' a nice new car at a restaurant valet service, Richard tries to rape Mickey, but Louis gets there just in time to stop it. He takes Mickey and runs to the car, while Richard gets in trouble with the police.

They drive towards Mickey's house, but she doesn't want to go home, so they go to Louis' place instead. The next day Mickey is back in her home. She reads the divorce papers and goes out to see some old work friends but gets tired of her old life.

Back at her house again, Mickey confronts Frank who just arrived, about the ransom, the divorce, the $1 million, and Melanie. Frank denies all her accusations, saying that he knew the kidnappers were bluffing, and that they pulled out. Fed up with all the lies, Mickey goes back to see Louis. When they meet with Ordell, it turns out that he has Melanie with him. While Melanie is out for a few minutes, Mickey, Louis and Ordell come up with a new plan. All three now wear masks, and seem ready to kidnap Melanie to get ransom from Frank.





Anyway, he is perfectly fine with his wife being kidnapped and possibly killed, so he doesn't have to pay a ransom or any spousal support in the future.

In Richard's house there is uncertainty and unrest. They send Richard to the Dawson's to check if Marshall made it out of the closet. Louis talks with Mickey about the ransom, about Frank's hidden money, the real estate development, and Melanie. It turns out Mickey gets to see Louis, and remembers him from the country club.

After trying to call Frank but failing to reach him because Melanie picks up the phone, Ordell and Louis talk about what options they have. Mickey listens in on their conversation through vents and doors.

Meanwhile, we see Marshall go to the house to clean up after himself. He encounters Richard and thinks he is a police officer. They have an altercation that ends with Richard shooting after Marshall's car.
