It looks like their trip to Paraguay is off, when low-life Jonnie LoDuco accidentally snags the head of his buddy Vinnie while fishing off a Long Island dock. Of course Jonnie can’t take the head to police (he’s just skipped bail), and he can’t throw it back (Vinnie was his friend), so he keeps it…
Low-level crook Johnnie Loduco is in a bit of a pickle. Fresh out of jail he goes fishing on a Long Island pier and hooks what he thinks is a whopper. The only problem is, when he finally reels it in, it turns out to be his friend Vinny's head. He, Vinny and Vinny's girlfriend Jennifer have been planning a scam and it looks like things have gone terribly wrong.
