Jesse (Wilson) is just released from jail and is on his way to church to marry his sweetheart (Barrymore), but along the way Billy (Flannery), one of his best men, needs to make a quick stop at the bank. Unbeknownst to Jesse, Billy is the notorious bank robber known as "Hamlet," named as such for spewing out Shakespearean quotes during his heists. The small-time robbery quickly transforms into a major fiasco leading to the lovebirds into exchanging their vows at the bank, and the FBI their witnesses! A funny love story with a criminal edge.

David Nusair
