This is the story of Jimmy Mangano and the night he decides to prove his worth to his friends by robbing a convenience store. Jimmy is the laughingstock within his circle of criminals as he has a history of performing poorly while completing missions. Jimmy has never done any real harm to anybody and has tended to panic when things do not go according to plan. This makes him an easy target for harsh jokes as every Saturday he meets up with his friends for a drink at the bar where he is insulted and made fun of the whole time. On this Saturday, Jimmy has had enough and comes up with a plan of robbing a convenience store to prove his worth. This throws Jimmy into a world of trouble as he ends up shooting the cashier when he presses the panic/police button. Jimmy ultimately steals the money, but meanwhile, the cops are on their way to the crime scene. This results in Jimmy getting into a high-pressure cop chase where he finds out through a phone call that his friends are disappointed in the execution of his robbery, contrary to his belief that they would be proud of him. Jimmy is then shot by the police with the status of his survival being unknown.
