Men at Work

(1990)

In the 1990 film Men at Work, Carl and James are two easygoing garbage men who stumble upon a mysterious crime. While using his telescope to observe his neighbors, Carl witnesses a man harassing a woman. In an effort to intervene, Carl shoots the man with a pellet gun before he can harm the woman any further. However, Carl and James are shocked to witness two other individuals strangle the man and dispose of his body. Feeling frightened and potentially implicated in the crime, Carl and James decide to hide the body when it unexpectedly appears in one of their garbage cans.
