The Fall of the American Empire

A shy and insecure delivery truck driver accidentally arrives on the scene of a robbery, happens to pick up two bags of stolen cash, and puts them in his truck. After an unsuccessful interrogation from two tough police detectives, he must find a way to get rid of this dirty money. He’s also persued by two other bumbling detectives, and the gang leader out to kill whoever is responsible for this mess. Only the help of a prostitute, and an ex-con biker, might save him from his troubles.
French with English subtitles.
