Plot summary
Nick Gardenia, a writer staying at a friend's cabin in Big Sur, is seized at gunpoint by two bank robbers, Dex and B.G., who make him the front man in a Carmel bank holdup. Nick trips inside, is helped up and looks into a security camera, and the robbers abandon him. The bank's photograph reaches Los Angeles District Attorney Ira Parks, whose assistant Fred recognizes the man as the ex-husband of Ira's wife Glenda. Ira hopes to become California Attorney General and worries the photo will hurt his campaign. Glenda, a public defender, gives her clients odd jobs around the house and doubts Nick robbed the bank. Nick, once wrongly jailed for two years in Mexico, makes his way to their Brentwood home and, while Glenda searches for her dog during a party, hides in her garage.
