His mafia boss has ordered him to go to Mexico and collect a priceless antique pistol called 'The Mexican', while his girlfriend Samantha (Julia Roberts) has demanded that he finish his association with the mafia altogether. What should he do? Jerry opts to go to Mexico, and when he finds the pistol without any bother, he thinks his luck might finally be turning: but Samantha is then kidnapped by Leroy (James Gandolfi), a gay hitman who wants assurance that the pistol will be returned safely, and Jerry has to go to the rescue.
