An uptight New York City tax lawyer gets his life turned upside down one day when he's asked to escort a feisty free-spirited ex-convict who asks him to help prove her innocence of her crime.

In this hilarious crime caper, a rich woman and her maid happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time -- and now, they're hotfooting it away from vicious mobsters who want to fit them for a couple pairs of cement overshoes. Can they stay free -- and alive -- long enough to gather evidence against the mobsters?
