<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400-700 words. -->
Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne are two good-hearted but dimwitted best friends and roommates living in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. Lloyd, a [[Cracked tooth syndrome|chip-toothed]] limousine driver, is instantly smitten with his passenger Mary Swanson, who is flying to [[Aspen, Colorado]] and Lloyd tells Mary that he and his friend Harry are taking jobs like this to save money to buy their own pet store. She leaves a briefcase in the airport and Lloyd attempts to return it, unaware it contains ransom money she has left for criminals Joe "Mental" Mentalino and J. P. Shay. Her plane has already departed, and Lloyd falls out of the [[Jet bridge|jetway]].

Fired for leaving the scene of an accident, Lloyd returns home to learn that Harry, a [[Dog grooming|dog groomer]], has also been fired for showing up late to a dog show with the dogs covered in food. Mental and Shay follow Lloyd home, but he and Harry mistake the crooks for [[Debt collection|debt collectors]] and flee, returning later to find Harry's [[parakeet]] has been decapitated. Lloyd convinces Harry that they should return Mary's briefcase, and they set off for Aspen in Harry's dog-styled van.

In league with Nicholas Andre, a friend of Mary's family, Mental poses as a [[Hitchhiking|hitchhiker]] and is picked up by Harry and Lloyd, who annoy him with their childish antics. Stopping for lunch, Mental plans to slip the duo [[rodenticide|rat poison]] pills, but they prank him by putting [[chili pepper]]s in his burger, aggravating his [[Peptic ulcer disease|stomach ulcer]]. Mistaking the pills for his medication, they inadvertently kill him with the poison but continue their trip.

At a gas station, Harry flirts with fellow Aspen-bound driver Beth, and unwittingly saves Lloyd from being assaulted by Sea Bass, a trucker they offended earlier. Police wait to intercept the duo on the road to [[Colorado]], but Lloyd takes a wrong turn and drives all night through [[Nebraska]]. Harry gives up on the journey, but Lloyd persuades him to continue after trading their van for a [[minibike]].

The duo arrives in Aspen but cannot find Mary, and a frustrated Harry attacks Lloyd, breaking open the briefcase and discovering the money, which they use on a hotel suite and lavish spending spree. They read in the newspaper that Mary and her family are hosting a charity gala, where a nervous Lloyd asks Harry to talk to her on his behalf. However, Harry agrees to go [[skiing]] with Mary instead, lying to Lloyd that he arranged a date for him.

While Harry and Mary have an enjoyable time together, Lloyd waits at the hotel bar and encounters Beth. Visiting Mary's home, he realizes that Harry lied to spend the day with her himself. In retaliation, Lloyd serves him coffee laced with [[laxative]]s, causing Harry to [[fecal incontinence|spontaneously defecate]] in Mary's broken toilet, while Lloyd reintroduces himself to Mary. Taking her to the hotel to return the briefcase, he confesses his love for her, but she rejects him.

They are held at gunpoint by Nicholas, who is behind the abduction of Mary's husband, Bobby, and is furious to discover that Harry and Lloyd spent the ransom, replacing it with [[IOU]]s. Harry arrives and is shot by Nicholas, and plays dead before ineptly returning fire. An [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] team bursts in led by Beth, who is actually an agent on the kidnappers' trail and prepared Harry with a [[bulletproof vest]] and gun. Nicholas and Shay are arrested, and Mary and Bobby are reunited, much to Lloyd's dejection.

Their trip rendered pointless and their hopes for the trip crushed, Harry and Lloyd travel home on foot, after all their purchases were confiscated and their minibike broke down. They encounter a busload of bikini models on a national tour, but ignorantly reject an offer to be their "oil boys". Harry tells Lloyd that they will get their "break" one day, and they play a game of [[Tag (game)|tag]] as they walk back to [[Rhode Island]].
