Flash used to be a talented baseball player, but he took to drinking and now he sells stolen watches in the streets.

Luck seems to smile at them the day stolen government documents literally fall from the sky. They decide to return them to their legal owners, but instead of the expected reward money, all they get is a load of trouble.
