CW Briggs is a veteran insurance investigator, with many successes. Betty Ann Fitzgerald is a new employee in the company he works for, with the task of reorganizing the office. They don't like each other - or at least that's what they think. During a night out with the rest of the office employees, they go to watch Voltan, a magician who secretly hypnotizes both of them, in order to use them for his dirty schemes. The next evening already, Briggs makes his first robbery, and when he wakes up in the morning he has no memory of it. Things get really complicated when he starts investigating the case. Will he be able to uncover... himself?

Legendary actors Robert DeNiro, Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman turned down the chance to star in a Woody Allen movie on grounds of the pay being offered. The Oscar-winning director attempted to lure the actors to take roles in films such as Deconstructing Harry and The Curse of The Jade Scorpion, but could not afford to pay their wage, reports Showbiz Spy.
