We join Vinnie during a less than stellar day that involves a cross-country car chase, a Shetland pony, a jar of chloroform and a pigeon named Nigel. All this gets Vinnie and his crew tangled with a local crime boss who sets out to make an example of them.

When the gang's resident tough guy Ashley is drugged during a bare-knuckle fight against a fighter from a rival family of travellers, Vinnie steps up to fight a rematch in his stead, thereby convincing everyone he'll get himself killed. As he puts in the hours training, local gangster Terence McCann closes in, still upset over the Shetland pony debacle. The question is, who's going to kill Vinnie first?
