Synopsis

A romantic comedy about hustlers on Santa Monica Boulevard. A streetwise, yet clumsy and accident prone hustler named Monti Ward is pursued by a benign yet grumpy foreign visitor, Jurgen Anger, who has come to Los Angeles to write his memoirs. After ripping off a john, Monti inadvertently commits a hit and run, unceremoniously mowing down a fellow hustler named Eigil. Jurgen spots Monti on the Boulevard immediately following the incident and, after unsuccessfully following the devastatingly handsome rent-boy, unwittingly comes into possession of the bloody T-shirt with which Monti has attempted to wipe the blood from the stolen car involved in the hit and run. As Jurgen continues his pursuit of the young man, using the T-shirt as an excuse, we follow Monti through his typical routine of various sordid and bizarre encounters with hustlers, johns and pornographers.
