Queens car salesman Joey O'Brien must deal with the ever-increasing pressures in his life: his ex-wife Tina is demanding
alimony, his daughter Lisa is missing, his married
mistress Joy Munchack and his single mistress Lila are both desperately in love with him, and he has a two-day deadline to either sell twelve cars or lose his job. In addition, he has an outstanding loan from
Mafia don Tony DiPino; a loan that he must either quickly repay or lose his life. On the day of the big dealership car sale (and the final day of O'Brien's deadline), the car dealership is taken
hostage by Larry Kosciuski, a
motorcyclist toting an
AK-47 who believes that his wife Donna is cheating on him. Joey manages to talk Larry out of doing any harm, by claiming that he is the one who is sleeping with Donna. As police surround the dealership, Joey and Larry begin to bond, and Joey convinces Larry to give himself up. Not realizing that Larry's gun is not loaded, the police wound him after most of the hostages have already been released. Joey promises to remain with him while he recovers, and confesses that he had never actually slept with Donna. The crisis resolves all of Joey's problems: Joy and Lila learn of each other and dump him, Lisa returns, his job is secure, Tony (whose son Frankie was among the hostages) forgives his debt, and he begins to reconcile with Tina. ==Cast==
