Conway, still packing a way things from his police career, is attempting to fill his retirement day. Walking to get coffee in the middle of the city, only a few blocks from his home, he makes a new friend in the form of a wino begging money at a bus stop. Learning he had been in the military, Conway nicknames him the Colonel. Together they stop a robbery while trying to have lunch, steal a breakfast from the Days Inn just to see if they could, deal with the secret service, help the police clear a killing, do what they can to make the DEA and FBI look foolish, help the marshals catch a drug dealer and put a lawyer in jail. All they wanted was coffee; they weren't looking for trouble, trouble just seems to come looking for them.
