The film shows Starkwell entering a life of crime at a young age. As a child, Virgil was a frequent target of bullies, who would snatch his glasses and stomp them on the floor. As an adult, Virgil is inept and unlucky, and both police and judges both ridicule him by stamping on Virgil's glasses. Starkwell is arrested for trying to rob a bank after passing to a teller a threatening note that misspells the word "gun". Sent to prison, Virgil attempts escape using a bar of soap carved to resemble a gun. Unfortunately for Virgil, it was raining outside and his gun melts. Starkwell ''does'' escape prison, but by accident. Joining a mass breakout plan, Virgil is the only inmate not warned that the scheme had been called off. Outside but unemployed, Virgil finds no way to support himself and his family. Eventually he is rearrested and sent to a chain gang where he is undernourished (the single meal of the day is a bowl of steam) and brutally punished (consigned to a steam box with an insurance salesmen). Starkwell again escapes but is eventually captured when attempting to rob a former friend who reveals he is now a cop. Starkwell's story ends with Starkwell back in prison. He is sentenced to 800 years but remains upbeat knowing that "with good behavior, I can get that cut in half". In the last scene, Starkwell is shown carving a bar of soap, and asking the interviewer if it was raining outside. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Take the Money and Run」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
