Joe Tyler, a process server notorious for his habitual lateness, finds himself facing serious consequences after he misses the critical deadline to deliver a summons to Fat Charlie, the notorious Mafia kingpin, compelling him to testify in court. His boss Ray continues to belittle him at every opportunity, simultaneously praising rival Tony for his swift serving abilities.
