The story

While driving through Alabama, New York college students Bill Gambini and Stan Rothenstein stop at a convenience store, where Bill absentmindedly pockets a can of tuna.

Unbeknownst to them, Vinny has only just passed the bar after numerous failed attempts and has no trial experience.

Vinny declines to cross-examine these witnesses during the preliminary hearing, alarming the defendants.
