Jim, Bob, and Ed decide that they are short on money and are since they are roommates, they trust each other. They realize that since their neighbor drives an expensive car, wears a lot of jewelry and regularly has boxes from new electronics outside for the garbage, he would be a home worth robbing. The three decide that they will work together to burglarize the house while the neighbor is away and split the proceeds three ways. Bob and Ed go in, Jim waits outside acting as a lookout, but nothing ever goes as planned.

After Bob and Ed go in, Jim suffers a full-on attack of morality, runs away and calls the police to report the burglary in progress. Ed is busily taking a flat-screen TV off the stand with his pockets full of gold necklaces when the neighbor's houseguest comes out of the bathroom. Bob panics, grabs a kitchen knife, and in an attempt to eliminate a witness, stabs the houseguest in the neck. Ed and Bob then run out the back door as the police arrive - and get arrested. Both later offer full, legally obtained confessions - they are very cooperative and remorseful fellows.
