Michelle Pfeiffer is
Married to the Mob in this comedy. The wife of Mafia hitman
Alec Baldwin,
Pfeiffer regularly chastizes her husband for his underhanded line of work.
Baldwin refuses to entertain any thoughts of quitting the mob-and besides, he's got a good thing going with
Nancy Travis, the promiscuous girl friend of gang boss
Dean Stockwell. When
Stockwell catches on to
Travis' peccadilloes, he murders both his mistress and the unlucky
Baldwin. At
Baldwin's funeral,
Stockwell is overwhelmed by
Pfeiffer's beauty, and immediately begins plying her with expensive gifts. But
Pfeiffer is through with this sort of thing, and with her young son in tow, she leaves town, hoping to start life anew. Upon making the acquaintance of bumbling, seemingly sincere
Matthew Modine,
Pfeiffer is convinced that
Modine is just another mob flunkey. But it's even worse:
Modine is an FBI agent, ordered to get to
Stockwell by using
Pfeiffer as bait. Reluctantly (he's grown quite fond of her himself),
Modine blackmails
Pfeiffer into setting up a rendezvous with
Stockwell.
