01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

In a gay bathhouse in Manhattan, unsuspecting heterosexual Cleveland businessman Gaetano Proclo has taken refuge from his homicidal mobster brother-in-law, Carmine Vespucci. In the bathhouse, Gaetano stumbles across an assortment of oddball characters, including a rabid chubby chaser, Go-go dancing, a squeaky-voiced detective, and Googie Gomez, a third-rate Puerto Rican entertainer with visions of Broadway glory who mistakes him for a famous producer and whom he mistakes for a man in drag (clothing). Further complications arise when Gaetano's wife Vivian tracks him down and jumps to all the wrong conclusions about his sexual orientation.
