Today is the first day of the rest of his life and, for inept barber Kresk, that's little encouragement. Then it happens. Kresk overhears information that - if he hires a hitman, hides a body, and doesn't fall in love with the policewoman trying to arrest him - can make him rich today and forever. Larceny and laughs combine when Kresk, the cop he'd like to go undercovers with, and a comical parade of characters are entangled in Kresk's scam to grab a fortune in rare gold coins.
