Summary

Al Miller is a self-proclaimed nobody, a used-car salesman with a lot full of junkers. His elderly landlord, Jim 
Fergessen, has decided to retire and has just cashed in on his property, which includes the lot that Al rents 
next to Fergessen's garage. 
Chris Harman is a record-company owner who has relied on Fergessen's for years to fix his Cadillac. When 
he hears about Jim Fergessen's sudden retirement fund, he tells him about a new realty development that 
Harman swears is a surefire path to easy wealth. Fergessen sees his chance to finally be a real businessman, 
well-to-do and respected like Harman. 
Al is convinced that Harman is a crook out to fleece Fergessen. Even if he doesn't particularly like Fergessen, 
Al is not going to stand by and watch him get cheated. Only Al's not very good at this, either. Maybe he's not 
even right.
