Willenholly is on a national television news show taking to the show's host (played by comedian Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show'), discussing the crime and the radical animal rights organization that he has been led to believe is involved. To throw authorities off their track, the thieves send the media a video of Jay and Silent Bob (apparently made by them) along with a message with threats and demands relating to freeing simians from captivity. They do indeed release dozens of animals from the facility, but this is only a cover for their real plan (which they do not tell Jay and Silent Bob about): They steal diamonds worth millions of dollars from a museum next to the place they release the animals from.Īfter the heist, the girls' van explodes, leaving Jay and Silent Bob thinking that the four beautiful jewel thieves are dead. The quartet of jewel thieves take Jay and Silent Bob to Colorado, telling them that they are radical animal rights activists who intend to 'liberate' animals from a research facility. These four young women are: Justice (Shannon Elizabeth), Sissy (Eliza Dushku), Chrissy (Ali Larter) and Missy (Jennifer Schwalbach Smith). While hitchhiking their way to Hollywood, Jay and Silent Bob hitch a ride with four twenty-something female jewel thieves.
