Plot
Velma, a young newly-wed, shares a working honeymoon with Norwood, a hit man and bank-robber. Norwood and his partners Sims and Willy fail in the murder they have been hired to commit, pull a bank heist instead, and flee town. When their misfueled car breaks down, they bury the stolen loot and hike into an almost deserted oilfield settlement. Unfortunately this nameless village is a hideout of the coffee-addicted McMahon bandit gang. Tension, fuelled by copious amounts of coffee, mounts as the bank robbers try to keep a low profile and the sultry Velma falls for two of the McMahons. Norwood tries to keep his cool and almost manages... until Dr Farben and his bodyguard arrive...
