Buy & Cell

Ambitious, young stockbroker Sandy Burger is on his way up the ladder of success. Suddenly, his life is shattered when his boss, Lou Daufer has him framed for stock fraud.
In Lewiston Correctional Facility, Sandy immediately angers head guard Palmer, then Warden Broderick Stone, who assails him. Only the chance entrance of Assistant Warden Anne Conners saves Sandy from injury.
Sandy soon after incurs the wrath of his cellmate, Sly Johnson, in addition to the prison's vilest inmate, El Coyote. Sly owes Coyote money, and is threatened with his life unless he pays. Sandy offers to get Sly the money by investing in the stock market. To do this, he needs access to a computer, which Wang, another inmate provides.
Sandy establishes a phony corporate account - Con, Inc. - with his old firm and soon has the needed $300. Sandy is quickly everyone's best friend, everyone except Coyote and his thugs. Sandy invests the inmates' money so successfully that he soon has made enough to buy a shopping mall and a bank.
Meanwhile, Lou becomes suspicious of Con, Inc. and decides to investigate.
Sandy sees that it wil be too difficult to maintain Con, Inc. so he devises a way to trick Lou into buying the company for cash. He must first get the prisoners out of the prison.
The elaborate ruse works, and Lou agress to pay $10 million. The daring plan is nearly ruined, however, when Coyote steals part of the money.
