 Welcome to Butcher s Mill, Illinois, home to a meat-packing plant, a junk yard, and Buddy (LANCE BARBER) and Earl (BILLIE WORLEY), two likable losers who crave the sweet smell of success. Earl is a simple man with a simple desire--to marry Pam (MELISSA FOSSE-DUNNE), the only available girl in town. But she ll only give herself to a man who meets her strict criteria, including trailer-home ownership. And Earl s conniving boss at the meat-packing plant will do anything to win Pam s heart first. Buddy, on the other hand, wrongly fancies himself a master criminal, scheming big and failing big while avoiding both legitimate employment and his heartless parole officer. When Buddy hatches a brainless scheme to kidnap a corrupt U.S. Congressman (CHEVY CHASE) for ransom, Earl sees it as his only hope to put a down payment on a trailer. But their prime score turns into a raw deal when the Congressman ends up dead, and his body in the meat-packing plant--accidentally chopped up, turned into bologna, and sent out to market. Unless they can round up all the bad meat and somehow get the Congressman s body back to the family for a proper funeral, Buddy could lose his freedom, Earl could lose the girl of his dreams, and they could both become mincemeat themselves.
