Sam and Eddie are unsuccessful musicians who are unwittingly recruited as professional safe-crackers by a local mobster. Veal Chop finds them in a bar where two famed ones hang out regularly, and incorrectly assumes they are them.
Veal Chop coerces Sam and Eddie into supposedly breaking into an older man's home to crack his safe for easy money. In reality it is his boss's place, local Jewish gangster Bernie Gayle. Threatening to contact local police if they do not comply, he gives them a limited time to crack open three safes.
While the singer-song writers try to hide their incompetence, Sam falls in love with Hannah, the daughter of a fence they are supposed to rob. He asks her out, but she explains she no longer wants to date thieves.
Sam bumps into Hannah, serving orderves in the barber shop her dad Good Stuff Leo uses as a front for his fencing operation. He again asks her out, but is not available for that night, as he and Eddie are committed that evening. Hannah instead invites Sam to her family's Rosh Hashanah celebration the next day.
Sam and Eddie are unsuccessful at cracking the next safe. Bernie reprimands them, but later confides in Veal Chop that the safe was emptied. Little does anyone know that the real safe crackers, Mitchell and Frank, cut open the safe while the other two fumbled with the combination lock. Bernie assumed Sam and Eddie did it, but are ballsy and kept the money.
At the party, Good Stuff retells the story of a client who purchased highly flammable slacks from him, who went up in flames before his eyes at a barbecue. Later, Sam and Hannah's makeout session is interrupted by her ex Frank. He comes to the house holding a boombox over his head, blaring a song. Hannah again turns him down.
Sam and Eddie are then tasked with breaking into the temple's safe while Bernie, jr. reads the Torah for his bar mitzvah. After familiarizing himself with his father's safe cracking book, Eddie successfully opens it. They think they are in the clear, when Bernie insists they break into Leo's office safe. When Sam breaks the news to Hannah, she breaks up with him.
Thanks to Eddie's newly found, the friends successfully break into the safe, beating out Mitchell and Frank, who congratulate them. Sam gets the safe crackers to steal back the 94' Stanley Cup after they left it at Bernie's. Hannah discovers it was Sam's idea, and that Leo has sent a heavy to break Sam's collar bone, so she hurries to the bar mitzvah party.
There, Hannah gets Leflore to back off, then she makes up with Sam. He previously found out that Eddie had decided to follow in his dad's footsteps, joining Mitchell and Frank's crew.
