Criminal GeniusRolly and his son Stevie have just screwed up. Hired by the tough, and tough-talking Shirley to set fire to a restaurant, they have opted instead to kidnap the dishwasher, who is tied up in the bathroom. The dishwasher, Amanda, turns out to be the equally tough daughter of the mobster who wanted the restaurant torched -- along with Phillie, the drunken owner-manager of the motel, who wants his night's rent, spend the rest of the Criminal Geniusplay desperately and hopelessly trying to extricate themselves from the consequences.

Under the direction of Randall Godwin, the cast included Jim Porterfield as Rolly, Ryan Carlson as Stevie, Leo McNamara as Phillie, Sandra Birch as Shirley, and Suzi Regan as Amanda.
