Joe McBeth is a hard-working but unambitious doofus who toils at a hamburger stand alongside his wife Pat, who is much smarter. Pat believes she could do better with the place than their boss Norm is doing, so she plans to usurp Norm, convincing Mac to rob the restaurant's safe and then murder Norm, using the robbery as a way of throwing the cops off their trail.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliriously funny transposition of Macbeth into a 1970s fast-food setting, where mundane greed and marital scheming collide with Shakespearean tragedy played entirely for laughs. It's a clever high-concept comedy that never lets you forget the absurdity of its premise.
