Plot

Boy and Junior are professional robbers who were unfortunately captured and sent to the penitentiary to serve their sentence. While in jail, they were initially terrorized by the prison mayor, Totoy Aguila but eventually got his respect and feared for his safety after they made fun of his eagle tattoo and the duo causing havoc inside the prison. After serving 10 years in jail, Boy and Junior wanted to stay at their uncle's house only to find out it was converted to a ladies' dormitory managed by Demi and Tracy. They agreed to work at the dormitory but everytime Demi and Tracy and other girls ask about their backgrounds, they would make up lies to avoid being driven out of the house for being ex-convicts.

Unfortunately Boy and Junior's past caught up with them when they had an encounter with an old associate Tequila who now works for a big-time crime lord named Minggoy and convinced them to go back to robbing houses. Boy and Junior declined as they had declared they are now on a straight path, having paid the price for committing a crime. But Tequila kept persisting until he paid a visit to the ladies' dormitory where he found Boy and Junior working there and exposed them to Demi and Tracy and the girls who have put their complete trust on the duo after helping them out on various occasions. As a result Boy and Junior were driven out of the house only to come back and realized the girls were in danger. Tequila and Minggoy instructed the duo to rob the specific house which they had visited during a party, which they did. After they robbed the house of the jewelleries and some cash, they went to the hideout where they eventually outwitted Tequila and Minggoy and their bodyguards and saved the girls.

Due to the injuries they sustained in saving the girls, Boy and Junior were brought to the hospital and were rewarded with a check by the police chief for doing the right thing in calling him first before saving the girls. Just after the police chief left, Totoy Aguila appeared with Boy and Junior's rival gang ready to exact revenge on them. But after seeing the duo in a bad state, Totoy Aguila instead confronts his gang members due to the embarrassment he was led to and beats them up in front of everyone.
