Butch and Sundance are best friends. They both like to commit crimes and party hard.
One day, Butch scoped out a jewelry store in Newark for them to rob. On the way home, Butch picked up Cindy, a prostitute, to bring her back to the duo's hideout in Short Hills. Butch and Sundance had a lot of fun with Cindy. Butch paid Cindy and agreed to drive her home. Butch lost control of his car and hit a telephone pole and Cindy died.
Butch waived down a driver in another BMW for help. He pulled the driver out of the car got in and drove away. The driver cut his leg badly and died from an infection a few days later.
Butch was pulled over and arrested a few minutes later. He was taken to the local jail in Newark and given his one phone call. He called Sundance to bust him out. Sundance showed up at 2 a.m. with a bulldozer and knocked the wall down to Butch's cell. As the wall fell over, an officer was hit with bricks and died. They got back to their hideout in Short Hills and got some sleep.
At 6 a.m., Sundance drove the bulldozer to the bank running over anyone that he saw on the street. Sundance drove the bulldozer into the bank and knocked open the door for the safe. He and Butch jumped out and grabbed all the money they could fit in the bulldozer.
The two were able to run over any cops in the way with the bulldozer and jumped in their getaway car they used for their jobs. During the drive back to the hideout, Butch told Sundance that he has been sleeping with his girlfriend, Sally, but it was only because they were "all doped up". Enraged, Sundance slammed Butch's head into the dashboard, splitting his head open, killing him.
Sundance got back to the hideout. Sally found out about Cindy because she set up a camera and watched what happened. She was waiting for Butch and Sundance after the bank job. She pulled out a shotgun and killed Sundance.
Sally decided to give all the money Prof. Cat so he could take his class on a field trip to the Supreme Court.
