"We need help from the blues brothers to raise money to pay our
taxes"
Bathe with the Mother Superior for only
£9.99
"Jake" Elwood is released from jail. His brother picks him
up in a former police car. They go to the orphanage they grew up in,
since Jake promised the orphanage Mother Superior (nicknamed "The
Penguin"). There they find out that the orphanage is in need
of money, for taxes. Jake and Elwood are sent off to earn it, but
in a legal manner. From the start they are under continuous attention
of the police. But Elwood does not mind; they wreck a complete shopping
mall in a police chase. They arrive at Elwood's apartment, which is
located directly at a railway. After a night's sleep the apartment
is blown up by a mystery women, right at the moment of a police raid.
The brothers have to find their former band members. They find "Bones"
Malone and some others playing Latin music in a nightclub, as "Murph
and the Magic Tones". Mr. Fabulous is maitre at a chique restaurant
"Chez Paul". They convince him to join by ordering expensive
bottles of champagne, and by acting like pigs, offending the other
guests. They find Matt 'Guitar' Murphy and Blue Lou working in a diner.
The place is run by Matt's wife, and she does not want them to join
the band. Aretha Franklin, playing Matt's wife makes this clear in
the song "Think!", but they go anyway. The next stop is
Ray's Music Store, ran by Ray Charles. Ray nearly shoots a boy that
wants to steal a guitar (considering Ray is blind, that's amazing!).
They sign an IOU for the equipment.
On the way to find the other members, they mess up a march of the
Neo Nazi American Socialist White People Party. The marching members
are forced to jump off a bridge to save themselves. When the brothers
try to call their booking agent, the payphone is torched by a mystery
woman. Fortunately they survive, and find a couple of dollars change.
The Neo Nazi's in the meantime find out Elwood's address (which is
faked: 1060 West Addison in Chicago is Wrigley Field Stadium, home
of the Chicago Cubs).
The Blues Brothers end up in a Country & Western club, Bob's Country
Bunker. They steal the gig of the Good Ole Boys. When Elwood asks
"What kinds of music do you usually play here?", the answer
is: "Why we have all kind of music - We have both Country and
Western!". Protected from beer bottles by chickenwire they try
their first song, but the audience get crazy. So they decide to do
"Rawhide", "Stand by your man", and some other
songs. At the end of the performance they owe the owner $100 (the
beertab). They have to run from the owner, and from the real Good
Ole Boys. On the run, the Good Ole Boys' camper is wrecked by a police
car in pursuit.
They blackmail Maury (their agent) into booking the Palace Hotel Ballroom
with 5,000 seats. All kids in the neighborhood help in selling the
tickets. Elwood and Jake end up in a gas-station that is out of gas,
and the gig starts without them. Cab Calloway sings the opening song
"Minney the Moocher". Both the police and the Good Ole Boys
find out where the gig is. When the brothers finally arrive, they
sabotage the Good Ole Boys' car. They do two songs, Sweet home, Chicago,
and Come on. They are offered a record contract, and payed $10,000
in advance.
They flee through a tunnel, being shot at by mystery woman. She turns
out to be Jake's ex-bride, he stood her up at the wedding. Jake begs
for their lives, and even takes off his sunglass! They seem to fall
in love all over again, but Jake leaves her behind.
In a crazy car chase the Good Ole Boys end up in a lake, hundreds
of police cars are wrecked and the Neo Nazi's cannot brake on an unfinished
bridge. The Brothers succeed in getting to the tax office, in pursuit
by police, special units, choppers and the army. They are arrested
right after paying the taxes. Back in jail, the final song, Jailhouse
Rock, is played.
