Perennially stoned Cheech and Chong tear through the city of Los Angeles, causing trouble wherever they go. After Cheech loses his job, the two pot enthusiasts head to the welfare offices where Cheech's girlfriend, Donna, works. Instead of collecting unemployment, they find themselves thrown back on the streets, searching for a way to earn new income. But when Cheech's cousin, "Red" Mendoza, arrives, things get even crazier.
This film follows the misadventures of Cheech and Chong as they try to make their way to a concert. Along the way, they encounter a variety of eccentric characters and find themselves in increasingly absurd situations, including a trip to an alien-run welfare office and a stint in jail. Their pursuit of weed and good times leads them through a series of chaotic events that highlight their signature stoner humor.
