Synopsis
Ricky and Fatso are friends in need. Yes, they are in dire need of money since they are only paid slave wages at the bottling factory. Ricky and Fatso buy a lottery ticket. They become millionaires overnight. In one of these nights out in town, Ricky is suddenly attacked by an upset stomach. In no time, a quack doctor diagnoses the seizure as terminal cancer.

It is on a rooftop from which he is supposed to make a plunge that he saves a poor man from suicide by giving the latter all the money he has. In gratitude, the newly rich man promises to hire a killer to finised off his suffering benefactor……
