Summary
Two young New Yorkers are arrested in rural Alabama and mistakenly charged with murder. Desperate, they turn to one cousin's only available lawyer relative: Vinny Gambini, a brash Brooklyn personal-injury attorney who has never tried a case. With help from his sharp, no-nonsense fiancee Mona Lisa, Vinny clashes with a strict Southern judge while scrambling to learn courtroom procedure and clear their names.
