The Umbrella Men 2 – Comedy Prison Break

After the successful heist in the Tafelberg Bank, our usual suspects, Jerome, Morty, Mila, Keisha and Auntie Val are moving up in the world. Life is sweet. But Tariq gets news in prison from bank manager El Fontein that the cash used to pay off the Goema Club’s debt has turned out to be counterfeit. Seems that Ten has double-crossed them all. In Pollsmoor, the General’s not at all happy to find out that his own generous share of the proceeds is worthless.

He arranges for a compassionate day-release for Tariq, who promises to go and sort this all out. And before long, Jerome, Marty and Tiger have been rounded up by the cops and are banged up in Robben Island Prison, recently reopened because of chronic overcrowding in the Western Cape prison system.

But Jerome formulates a far-fetched plan that he hopes will get them off this rock. Lacking Madiba’s patience, he’s not willing to spend 18 years on the island. It involves a short swim to freedom through some shark-infested waters, but Jerome reckons that with Keisha’s and the girl’s support he can pull it off.
