A luckless loser who finds himself homeless when his mom packs up the trailer and heads for Vegas hits upon the idea of serving as a juror in a long trial. Though he's assigned to an open-and-shut case involving a notorious killer, his need for the food, shelter and five bucks a day leads him to delay the trial for as long as possible.

When perennial goof-off Tommy Collins finds himself in sudden need of shelter and money, he comes up with a novel solution to his problem: become a juror, with its $5.00 per day salary and the possibility of getting sequestered in a plush hotel. Unfortunately, Tommy is assigned to an "open-and-shut" case. Now he must rely on his (dim) wits to prolong the trial -- that is, if his wacky antics don't get him thrown out first.
