Plot
The Kramdens and the Nortons are working-class neighbors, with bus driver Ralph Kramden (Cedric the Entertainer) and sewage worker Ed Norton (Epps) being best friends. They are constantly coming up with new schemes to get rich quick, with Ralph being the mastermind.
The driving forces behind their get-rich-quick schemes are their wives, Trixie (Hall) and Alice (Union), and both Ralph and Ed are trying to make enough money so they can afford the homes they think they deserve. While they are trying to achieve this, Alice and Trixie make ends meet by waitressing at the local diner.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
