Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The film starts with a criminal disguised as a woman trying to hitchhike in the middle of nowhere. When someone finally stops for the poor woman, two other criminals try to hijack the bus. They then discover that the bus is an automated bank on wheels with no cash to be stolen and no hostages to be held. This creates a humorous dialogue between the bank robbers and the security personnel.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

The commercial is a sequel to another highly successful commercial for the same bank that aired a year earlier. The previous commercial featured the same cast in their attempt to rob a bank, only to discover it is a smart branch with no employees to hold as hostages and no attended cash to be stolen, and the commercial ended with the bank robbers arrested. This film features the same cast as they escape prison trying to hitchhike their way back and hijack a vehicle. To their surprise, the bus that stopped for them is a smart bank bus and it is automated as well.
