Hodiak and Ball are swindlers, but Hodiak had the misfortune to be apprehended by lawman Nolan for his transgressions. With five days of freedom left him before he must serve a jail term, Hodiak switches his sins, going from larceny to gluttony. Aware that prison fare will leave much to be desired, he travels the country visiting four-star restaurants and packing away the gourmet provender. He is accompanied in his quest by Ball and Nolan, each of whom is interested in ascertaining the location of the half-million dollars in loot which he has concealed. Lust replaces gluttony as Hodiak has his eye on the Ball, and both decide to marry and lead a lawful life after he has paid his debt to society. Fine comic talents are wasted through inane dialog and spotty direction and editing. leave a comment
