Synopsis: After spending years in jail for armed robbery, Jake Blues is released for good behavior. He leaves prison dressed the same way he entered: a black suit and hat and dark glasses. Identically dressed, he is awaited at the prison gate by his brother Elwood, who informs him that the Santa Elena orphanage, the only home they knew, is in danger of disappearing for financial reasons. Without a moment’s hesitation, the brothers get down to work.
