Synopsis

It’s the story of “Ed” (short for Edwina), a policewoman who falls in love with “Hi” (short for H.I. McDonnough), while she’s taking his mug shots. She’s infertile and he’s a habitual robber of convenience stores, and their folksy marital bliss depends on settling down with a rug rat. Unable to conceive, they kidnap one of the newsworthy quintuplets born to an unpainted-furniture huckster named Nathan Arizona, who quickly hires a Harley-riding mercenary to track the baby’s whereabouts and hits the road!
