Standup comic Buster Hightower and his love, Carla Chance, live next to a hit man. Or maybe not. Their good friend and neighbor, former minor league basketball player Ted Snowe, doesn't actually kill his assigned targets. He immobilizes them and gives them the choice between doing business the conventional way or accepting a new identity Ted has prepared for them, then disappearing. Naturally, all choose the second option - for a price. Ted, who was bluffing, double-dips and everybody's happy. That is, until the "dead" begin reappearing. The first to materialize is Ted's last "hit," a mob enforcer named Jimmy (Feet) Brutto who was recently arrested on a drug charge. Jimmy's "widow," Beth Palmer Brutto, cashed in his $100,000 life insurance policy.
