Margaret 'Mickey' Dawson is a housewife, whose husband Frank (Robbins) has been embezzling millions for years without her knowledge. Career criminals Louis and Ordell catch wind of his scam and figure if they hold Mickey for ransom, Frank would have no choice but to pay up big, without realising Frank is head over heels for his mistress Melanie and doesn't want his wife back.
Two common criminals get more than they bargained for after kidnapping the wife of a corrupt real-estate developer who shows no interest in paying the $1 million dollar ransom for her safe return.
