Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson team-up to break the "Mann Act", a forgotten law from the 1920s which prohibits transporting an unmarried woman across state lines for "immoral" purposes. Warren, already married, convinces Jack to marry his girlfriend Stockard Channing, even though he is the one she is in love with, then they all move-in together in an LA apartment. What they really want is Stockard's money, who stands to inherit a fortune, so they plan to murder her and try to make it look like suicide. However, she is saved by their complete ineptitude. Jack gets the best scenes, but it's hard to shake the feeling you are watching a comedic version of his character from The Shining. Scatman Crothers even shows up to give it a feeling of deja vu.
