When Earl (Jason Lee) decides to cross number twenty-four off his list, "stole a red take-a-number machine," he finds that he has to first convince Randy (Ethan Suplee) it's the right thing to do. Randy's (Ethan Suplee) fondness of the machine is revealed in a flashback to New Year's Eve 1999 when the gang confuses Y2K with the apocalypse leading them to believe they are the last surviving people on the Earth.

After Earl discovers that the Warden has destroyed his early departure tickets, he turns to his friends to help him escape from prison.

With the help of Darnell, Joy and Catalina on the outside combined with Randy and Frank's help on the inside, Earl should be home free. Or not?
