SYNOPSIS
After the release of Jake Blues from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit the nuns at the orphanage where they were brought up. They learn that the Archdiocese will stop supporting the school. The only way to keep the place open is if the $5000 tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The Blues Brothers decide to put their blues band back together and raise the money by staging a big gig.
