Two runaway teenage girls, Kit Williams and Brandy Saveties, buy one-way tickets to Hawaii, and 2 weeks after they arrive they meet Lou Talbot.

The bag breaks, and Chick is forced to stuff the money into a trash can. The next day, Talbot and his friends discover that their victims are actually gangsters.
