Virgil Starkwell's story parodies prison documentary style, using "archival footage" and "interviews" with people who knew him. Virgil’s parents are so ashamed that they wear Groucho glasses during their interviews to hide their identity. As a child, Virgil is a frequent target of bullies, who take his glasses and stamp on them on the floor. In school, he scores well on an IQ test, but his teacher relates that when he stole a fountain pen, she instructed the class to close their eyes so the thief could return it. While all eyes were closed, Virgil returned the pen, but “felt up” all the girls. As an adult, Virgil is clumsy and socially awkward. Stealing a gun to rob an armored truck, during a shootout with the guards, he finds that his gun is a cigarette lighter. Arrested, Virgil attempts an escape from prison using a bar of soap carved to resemble a gun, but his "gun" dissolves in the rain. Out on parole, Virgil’s attempt to rob a local pet shop fails when a gorilla chases him away. In the park, he meets Louise; Virgil recounts that after 15 minutes he knew he was in love and wanted to marry her, after 30 minutes he gave up the idea of snatching her purse. Virgil steals coins from a gumball machine (parody of Cool Hand Luke), paying for dinner with nickels. Virgil’s attempt to rob a bank is stymied by an argument about his handwriting on a demand note. The cashier asks what “I am pointing a ‘gub’ at you” means, and Virgil insists it says “gun”; the cashier”s supervisor asks what “Abt naturally” means. Virgil insists it’s “act naturally.” While over a dozen bank employees attempt to decipher the note, the police arrive. Virgil is sentenced to 10 years in maximum security. He asks Louise to bake him a cake with a gun in it and a dozen chocolate cookies with a bullet in each (she does not). Virgil joins a mass breakout plan, but the guards become suspicious when all their uniforms are missing from the laundry. The breakout is called off, and Virgil is the only inmate not informed, but manages to escape anyway. Virgil marries Louise, but finds it difficult to support his family. Lying about his background, he is hired in the mailroom. In a parody of I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, he is blackmailed by a fellow employee, Miss Blair, who forces him into a romantic relationship. Deciding to kill his blackmailer, he disguises sticks of dynamite as candles. He attempts to run her over with his car, but she evades it. He attempts to stab her with a knife, but grabs a turkey leg by mistake and stabs her with it. She finally lights the "candles" that explode. Another bank robbery is botched when a second gang also holds up the bank, and the customers vote that they prefer the other gang to rob the bank. Virgil is sentenced to 10 years on a chain gang, where he is tortured in a penalty box with an insurance salesman. In a parody of I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, Virgil asks another prisoner whether his aim is good enough to smash his chain with a sledgehammer; his aim misses and Virgil’s foot is hit instead. In a parody of The Defiant Ones, Virgil and 5 other prisoners—including two black prisoners—all chained together make a break for it while on work detail. Attempting to scatter, they don’t get very far. They take an old woman hostage, telling her to pretend to the police that they are her cousins and attempting to hide their chains by standing close together and moving in unison. They knock out the officer and escape, hiding out with Louise. An FBI agent relates that Virgil is recaptured attempting to rob a former friend who is now a policeman. Virgil is tried on 52 counts of robbery and sentenced to 800 years, but remains optimistic reasoning, "with good behavior, I can get that cut in half." In the final scene, Virgil is carving a bar of soap and asking the interviewer if it is raining outside.

The film opened on August 18, 1969 at the 68th St. Playhouse in New York City

By 1973, the film had earned rentals of $2,590,000 in the United States and Canada and $450,000 in other countries. After all costs were deducted, it reported a loss of $610,000. In his later review of Annie Hall, Canby revised his opinion of Take the Money and Run, stating "Annie Hall is not terribly far removed from Take the Money and Run, his first work as a triple threat man, which is not to put down the new movie but to upgrade the earlier one". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times found the film to have many funny moments, but "in the last analysis it isn't a very funny movie", with the fault lying with its visual humor and editing. In October 2013, the film was voted by the Guardian readers as the sixth best film directed by Allen. On the review aggregator web site Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 91% positive rating with an average rating of 6.9/10, based on 23 reviews.

Take the Money and Run was released to DVD by MGM Home Video on July 6, 2004 as a Region 1 fullscreen DVD. Kino Video released the film on Blu ray in October 2017, although the only bonus features are trailers for other films.
