Storyline
Three workers, Zeke, Jerry and Smokey, are working at a car plant and drinking their beers together. One night when they steal away from their wives to have some fun they get the idea to rob the local union's bureau safe. First they think it is a flop, because they get only 600 dollars out of it, but then Zeke realizes that they also have gotten some 'hot' material. They decide to blackmail their union. The best reason for that is the union itself. All three are provoked by the fact that the union claims to have lost 10,000 dollars by their robbery. Written by Oliver Heidelbach

Trivia
Good Times can be seen on the TV. Chip Fields, who appears here as Zeke's wife Caroline, had a memorable set of guest appearances on that series as the mother of Penny (Janet Jackson.) See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Jerry, Zeke and Smoky are casing the union hall, Jerry asks "Who is in the Buick?" The car he is looking at is an Oldsmobile. See more »Quotes
