Role[]
After being released from prison, Calvin is already on his next heist with the help of his dimwitted partner in crime. Percy P. Calvin steals a valuable diamond from a jewelry store without anyone noticing at first. The cops were eventually able to catch on, and during the hot pursuit, Calvin is forced to dispose the diamond in the purse of local woman, Vanessa and her husband, Daryl.
Calvin and Percy follow the couple to their home, and overhear that the couple wish for a baby. This gives Percy an idea to disguise Calvin as an abandoned baby so he can get into the house and retrieve the diamond.
What starts as a simple in and out job quickly turns more complicated when Calvin finds the young couple actually falling for him, and welcoming him into their lives, he even manages to have sex with Vanessa and she ends up thinking it's Daryl, much to his confusion. Soon he finds himself slowly getting used to the loving family life that he never had, However, danger is lurking nearby, as Calvin's boss, Mr. Walken, who instructed him to get the diamond in the first place, is starting to grow impatient. If Calvin doesn't retrieve the diamond soon without blowing his disguise, the family may be in danger.
Soon after Calvin finally gets the diamond, he calls Percy to pick him up. Percy tells Calvin that Walken and his goons are going over to Daryl's house to retrieve the diamond for themselves. Calvin tells him that Walken would kill Daryl if he doesn't have the diamond, which was actually part of his plan to protect Calvin and himself. This leads Calvin to push Percy out of the car and drive back to Daryl's house to save him. He pretends to be Daryl's son and is taken upstairs to bed by one of Walken's henchmen only for Calvin to attack him and beat him up with the bat. Then defeats both of Walken's henchmen by using some of the toys that Daryl gave him to play with and defeats Walken by throwing his plane toy right in the crotch.
Walken and his henchmen are arrested, and Daryl is given a reward for the return of the diamond, and since Calvin saved his life, he doesn't turn him over to the cops. Before he leaves, Calvin thanks Daryl for taking care of him even though he wasn't really a baby and admits that he thinks Daryl would make a great father someday. Calvin was about to be out of Daryl's life for good, as Daryl watches him leave, Calvin is crying hysterically about his miserable life, so Daryl decides to let Calvin stay and from that point on, the two men became best friends. Later, Calvin is now living with Vanessa and Daryl, he and pops are left to watch over Vanessa and Daryl's newborn child.
