Synopsis: When Jimmy informs his friend Spider that Mattie and Sally, two women they met the previous summer in Atlantic City, are in town for the evening, Spider is distressed because he and Jimmy are flat broke. Jimmy, however, has a plan. They will invite the girls to the restaurant, eat and drink all they want, and when the check comes, they will pretend to fight over who is going to pay for it. The fight will become so ferocious that the men will be thrown out for disturbing the other guests and the check will be forgotten.

Note: I need to see this film to better identify people. There is a chance this film might be lost.
