Short-Cut 3 follows two street criminals, Spikiri (Kondja Lungameni) and Buzzman (Stefanus Fillemon), who begin as friends but eventually become enemies. While being transported to Swakopmund by Correctional Services, the two escape and set out on separate missions to recover N$250,000 in stolen cash they had hidden in Windhoek.
Buzzman hijacks a vehicle to make his way back to Windhoek, while Spikiri receives assistance from mutual friends. Meanwhile, state agent Linda Shikongo (Paulina Shivute) is determined to bring the two criminals to justice. Going undercover, she sets out to track them down and secure their arrest.
