Due to lingering bitterness about his UnfortunateName, Harry Künt has spent his entire life as a compulsive practical joker. One of his jokes inadvertently causes a car accident, leading to his being sent to prison. While there, Harry discovers that the prisoners running the gymnasium (Phil, Jerry, Bob, Joe, Max, Eddie and Billy) have access to a tunnel which they use to come and go from the prison as they please. Happy at the idea of a little freedom, Harry accepts their offer to join the group, only to discover that they support themselves by committing robberies. Harry finds himself drafted into a role for their upcoming bank robbery, and he uses his joking expertise to desperately get his way out of the robbery (such as by setting off stink bombs near the bank before the planned robbery). He also finds himself being blamed for a serious of practical jokes in the prison which he is honestly ignorant of. And, of course, he gets a romantic subplot, after a while.

* PrisonRape: Harry is warned to steer clear of a group called "The Joy Boys" for this reason, at least until he has Phil's gang as protectors.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Warden Gadabout recognizes that Harry doesn't really belong in prison and tries to be accommodating to him. When Harry is accused of pulling pranks he does give weight to the circumstantial evidence but also gives ample consideration to Harry's arguments for his innocence.
* ScareEmStraight: The stressful thought of having the prisoners connect his practical jokes inside the prison to the jokes he uses to delay the robbery eventually helps Harry give up on his crimes.

* TrueCompanions: The prisoners actually have this vibe by the end [[spoiler: even forgiving Harry when they find out the truth]].
* UnfortunateName: Harry Künt.
* WardensAreEvil: Warden Gadabotu mostly averts this, being a polite, thoughtful man. He can be prone to throwing a prisoner in solitary in a moment of temper, but apologizes for it later after having time to think it over.

* AffablyEvil /AntiVillain: Except for male Billy, all of the prisoners can be genuinely nice guys, who are pretty loyal to each other, with most planning to go straight once they get out of prison with the money they're saving up. That being said, [[BewareTheNiceOnes the group in general, and Phil in particular can be absolutely menacing when they swear revenge against the practical joker, and could very well kill Harry if they decide he knows too much]].

* KarmicTrickster: Some (but not many) of Harry's pranks fall under this, such as when he tampers with the water heater to give the Joy Boys a cold shower.
* LastGirlWins: Harry goes on dates with three girls with Max, and its the last one who he ends up with. Max also gets more serious with his final girlfriend.
