In the mid-1990s| two inmates bury the burned bodies of two lifers at Mississippi's infamous Parchman Farm; a third old-timer relates their story. They'd served 65
years for a murder they didn't commit| framed by a local sheriff while buying moonshine whiskey for a Manhattan club owner to whom they owed money. In flashbacks we
see this odd couple thrown together (Ray is a fast-talking con man| and Claude is a serious man about to start work as a bank teller)| the loss of Ray's watch
(sterling silver| from his daddy)| the murder and trial| the hardships of Parchman| and the love-hate relationship of Claude and Ray as they spend 65 years bickering
and looking for a way to escape.
Entertaining if not over-the-top humor from a solid comic duo provides plenty of laughs.
