The Count and his grown son Lucky, on one of their Saturday morning drunks, stumble into a black woman's kitchen and begin pilfering for food. When she happens up on them, the Count stabs her with his pocket knife. They go to jail but not for long because as always the Count's brother King bails them out. But the old lady isn't through with them. Especially Lucky, whose remorse and compassion come to a head one rainy cold evening as he is building her a fire.
