Mel (Vic Tayback) entrusts his precious old car to the care of Alice (Linda Lavin)--and that's his first mistake. Somehow or other Flo (Polly Holliday) gets behind the wheel of the car, resulting in an accident that literally spreads the remnants of the vehicle from one end of Phoenix to another. Still, Flo actually believes she can cover up her carelessness--and she might have gotten away with it if not for a tempestuous witness named Maria (Chi Chi Navarro).
