Montgomery "Monty" Brewster (Richard Pryor) is a second-rate minor league baseball pitcher with the Hackensack Bulls. One night after winning an important game, he and his best friend Spike Nolan (John Candy), the catcher for the Bulls, are arrested after a bar fight. The next morning, they are fired from the team and have to sit in jail because they can't afford bail. A stranger (posing as a photographer) offers bail and asks them to come to New York City with him. At the Manhattan law office of Granville & Baxter, Brewster is told that his recently deceased great-uncle Rupert Horn (Hume Cronyn), whom he has never met, has left him his entire fortune because Monty is his only living blood relative (by way of Monty's grandmother, Rupert's half-sister), but with several conditions.
