Released by Columbia Pictures Corporation, this comedy was shot with Panavision cameras and letterboxed (2.35:1 aspect ratio).

The film grossed $21,134,374 at the box office, and is still popular with Cheech and Chong fans today (although not to the extent of their albums, and the first film Up in Smoke).

Plot outline

The duo are a pair of struggling musicians working at a car wash owned by a pair of Arabs (also played by Cheech and Chong). The Arabs find themselves with a large sum of laundered money they have no idea how to get rid of, so they stash it in the seats of a limousine and hire the stoners to drive it to Las Vegas. Along the way, Cheech and Chong are strapped for cash, so they start selling pieces of the car along the way. When the Arabs find out that they had delivered what remains of the car without any money in it, they go after the duo to try and kill them, but instead find all four of them inside a porno theater showing a "hidden camera" film of the stoners having sex with the Arabs' French girlfriends. Instead of killing them, the Arabs decide to cast them in porn films and launder the money through there.
