Plot[]
Narrowly surviving another murder attempt, Mike and Jay borrow the phone in Mr. Plinkett's house to warn their fellow VCR repairmen.
There, they discover that although Plinkett has become a man of the modern age and refurnished his house with new technology, Sheila has broken up with him. The repairmen also unscrupulously claim Plinkett and Sheila's free tickets to The Dark Knight Rises.
After the screening, the duo finally arrive at the Lightning Fast VCR Repair Shop, where they hope to find some answers.
