Fortunately for them, he decides to agree upon Ray's proposal to pay off their debts by driving to Mississippi, picking up some moonshine, and returning it to him.Īlthough the straight-laced Claude isn't crazy about the idea, he reluctantly agrees and the two men - who irritate each other - drive south and pick up the booze. As such, both men find themselves at the mercy of Spanky. Sensing an easy target, Ray pickpockets Claude who's already been wiped clean by some debt collectors. There, Ray Gibson (EDDIE MURPHY) is a small-time hustler who owes money to Spanky Johnson (RICK JAMES), the owner of a popular speakeasy, that's frequented this night by Claude Banks (MARTIN LAWRENCE), a soon-to-be employed bank teller.
