[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Earl (Jason Lee), assisted by Randy (Ethan Suplee) gives back a wallet he stole from a man at the gas station, along with the $1000 that was in it. Earl finds out that the guy was going to use the money for his honeymoon, and now that he has the money, his wife wants to go on a real honeymoon. However, the victim cannot get time off from work, so Earl volunteers to fill in for him at the fast-food restaurant where he works. Earl is tormented by his abusive boss (Jon Favreau) who, although he is immoral, (he steals from work and is unfaithful to his pretty wife) has a great house and a BMW. Still, Earl does nothing and waits for Karma to punish him. In the end, he cannot restrain his anger and punches his boss, which causes a chain of events that leads to his downfall. He feels guilty about ruining his boss's life, but then believes that Karma "borrowed his fist" to punish his boss. Things at the restaurant improve after the boss is fired and thrown in jail with the victim getting the job as manager. This allows Earl to cross #202 off his list: "Stole a wallet from guy in gas station bathroom".

Jaime Pressly and Eddie Steeples also star.
