!Tropes for the film:
* TheCaper: Harry accidentally destroys some money and decides to break in and reprint it, but finds that he has some unwanted partners.
* ScoobyDoobyDoors: The movie has a gag involving these.
* SuspiciousSpending: The plot plays with this. Harry (a treasury employee in charge of printing off new money) is accused of being an embezzler, due to his constantly-changing expensive cars and clothes. In fact, all he's actually doing is always buying new stuff and then returning it before the 30-day warranty expires to get his money back, before getting another expensive suit or car somewhere else, and doing the same thing over again. He has nothing to hide from the auditors, at least until one sheet of new money is accidentally used to wrap up some brownies he got, ruining them and forcing him to break back into the mint after hours with a RagtagBunchOfMisfits to print off a replacement sheet of money (as well as payment for his team).
