Would-be playwright Skip Donohue (Gene Wilder) and would-be actor Harry Monroe (Richard Pryor) should be on the road to success. But along the way to seeking their fortunes in California, they get stranded in Arizona. Hired to dress as woodpeckers for a bank promotion, Skip and Harry are mistaken for bank robbers and find themselves thrown behind bars. Outwitting wardens, sadistic guards, and fellow prisoners, the two even wind up in a prison rodeo.
