Corporate raider "Larry the Liquidator" (Danny DeVito) smells blood and descends on a family-owned business run by old codger "Jorgy" Jorgenson (Gregory Peck). Trying to stave off the takeover, Jorgy hires Kate (Penelope Ann Miller) to stall Larry. Before long, Larry becomes involved in a complicated game of cat and mouse (and mutual attraction) in which he and Kate struggle to maintain the upper hand. (official distributor synopsis)
