Quiche Lorraine and Crepe Suzette are two adult women who delight in committing petty crimes. When those crimes don't get them the media attention they want, they plot to kidnap Natasha Helmsley, a spoiled heiress to a steamed crab company fortune, Meanwhile, three friends in their late teens, Vince, Valerie, and Vera aimlessly hang out in and around Baltimore, lightly trying to make sense of their various problems. As the film progresses, the two stories begin to gently overlap, ultimately making the film a daffy farce with a wry smile.
