Plot summary

Winslow Lowry is a no-good, indebted gambler[4] and the nephew of elderly, infirm millionaire Albert Dennison.[1] Winslow seeks to speed up his uncle's demise by hiring three of the most inept orderlies he can possibly find. The trio (played by The Fat Boys Markie, Buffy and Kool) only mean well, however, and their good-natured antics actually help re-energize the ailing Albert. In the end the trio & Albert learn about Winslow's scheme and try to stop him.
