This episode covers a bank robbery, a stolen film, and humorous criminal mishaps. It features a story about a bank robber whose mother unknowingly assisted him and a group of men who stole a copy of The Phantom Menace.

The bank robber's mother parked the car to go shopping, leaving her son to flee from the bank after a failed robbery. The comedic element arises from her obliviousness to his criminal intentions.
