In the bustling heart of New York, a man with a clever plan finds himself caught in a comedy of errors after a botched robbery. Disguised as a clown, Grimm—portrayed by the brilliant Bill Murray—has decided to rob a bank amidst the hustle and bustle of St. Patrick's Day. With his accomplice, the charming Phyllis, and a somewhat clumsy friend, he prepares to pull off the big score and walk away with a fortune. The idea is simple: a couple of tricks, a little chaos, and the money in his pocket before the day ends.
However, things don’t go as Grimm had planned. From the escape into the subway—where his disguise doesn’t go unnoticed—to encounters with the city’s peculiarities, every attempt to get away turns into an episode more hilarious than the last. A group of police officers chases the unfortunate criminals while time slips away from them. Amid misunderstandings, unexpected twists, and a series of comedic missteps, Grimm must deal with the pressure of getting out unscathed and winning over his love while the whole plan collapses around him.
With a perfect blend of absurd humor and surreal situations, the protagonists take us through a day that starts with the promise of easy money and ends up being a lesson about life, love, and the surprises that New York always has up its sleeve.
