What happens when three spoiled dumbasses get together and plan a heist? Well, you wouldn't think it would include a school bus filled with children and their driver. 
This episode is the tale of the Chowchilla School Bus Kidnapping; a story that left many victims scarred for life, and a man hailed as the town hero, and ending with three men in jail who threw their lives away for nothing.
