[edit] Summary
Cheech and Chong are a pair of struggling musicians working at a car wash owned by a pair of Arabs (also played by Cheech and Chong). The Arabs find themselves with a large sum of money, which they stash in the seats of a limousine. They hire the stoners to drive the limousine to Las Vegas, but along the way, Cheech and Chong find themselves strapped for cash, so they start selling pieces of the car. When the Arabs find out that Cheech and Chong have delivered what remains of the car without any money in it, they go after the duo to try and kill them, and find them inside a porno theater showing a "hidden camera" film of the stoners having sex with the Arabs' French girlfriends. Instead of killing them, the Arabs decide to cast the duo in porn films and launder the money through the enterprise.
