Plot

Warden Sven 'The Swede' Sorenson is a malicious warden of the county, illegally executing some of his worst prisoners. Everybody in town hates and is scared of him, except his twin daughters. Swede's twins tell their father they're pregnant, lying so he pushes their dim boyfriends, Bud Dyerson (Charlie Sheen) and Larry (Thomas Haden Church), into shotgun marriages. He also turns his sons-in-law into slave laborers, so Bud hatches an escape plan to rob a train carrying old bills to the mint for burning. Larry's his reluctant accomplice. When Bud is captured, he's railroaded into Swede's small-town and dangerous jail by the Judge (Donald Sutherland) and Swede. His death looks certain, until he hatches yet another plan that requires Larry's help. Meanwhile, Judge's Daughter and FBI Agent Karen Polarski (Mira Sorvino), while able to land Bud in federal prison, repeatedly comes to his aid.
