Summary:
DJ Zack and pimp Jack end up in prison for being too laid-back to avoid being framed for crime they didn't commit. They end up sharing a cell with eccentric Italian optimist Roberto, whose limited command of the English language is both entertaining and infuriating -- but rather more useful to them is the fact that Roberto knows an escape route.
