Two low-level mobsters screw up a simple hit job and, as punishment, are given the worst assignment in the history of organized crime. They must: <ul> <li>Sneak into a producer’s compound in the middle of the night</li> <li>Gain access to the world's most valuable racehorse</li> <li>Kill it and cut off its head</li> <li>Then enter the producer's mansion and slip it under his bedcovers without waking him up.</li> </ul> Realizing the job is too big for the two of them, they assemble a team of quirky experts to help them. Their lives depend on the successful completion of the mission.
