New Yorkers Skip Donahue and Harry Monroe have no jobs and no prospects, so they decide to flee the city and find work elsewhere, landing jobs wearing woodpecker costumes to promote the opening of a bank. When their feathery costumes are stolen and used in a bank robbery, they no longer have to worry about employment — they're sent to prison.

テキサスで窃盗犯により服役中だった男が脱獄。パトカーをカー・ジャックし、何十台ものパトカーに追跡されながら里子に出された子供の元へ暴走する……。実話を元にしたスピルバーグの劇場用初監督作品。
