Comedy based on the novel by Gerald Gaiser. Manager Dick Harper (George Segal) & his attractive young wife Jane (Jane Fonda) are used to a comfortable lifestyle. However, just as they're putting in a new pool at the house that has sunk them deep into debt, Dick is fired from his high-paying job as an executive. Housewife Jane isn't too worried at first, figuring she'll go to work & they'll just tighten their belts for a while but it quickly becomes apparent that Dick's unemployment isn't going to go very far, & she isn't really good at anything besides spending. So when Jane inadvertently gets away with stealing $2, 000, the entrepreneurial spirit takes over & the two come up with a new solution: they'll steal the money they need to live on. There's only one thing they didn't count on: being a robber is actually hard work.
