Rollie and Daphne are a middle-aged couple. Daphne is unemployed and looking for work. Rollie finds out his company is relocating and he will be out of a job. His best friend, Alex, also loses his job as a news cameraman.
The day Rollie learns his job is disappearing, he brings home a movie so Daphne can write a sample review of it for a job interview. Unfortunately Rollie has picked up the wrong movie—he mistakenly brings home a porn film—but that sparks an idea. Alex tells Daphne how much money there is in porn films. Daphne decides to make one.
Jill, a down-on-her-luck actress, arrives at the wrong house to deliver a singing telegram and is persuaded to audition for a part in the movie. In the process she and Daphne cast Byron, Alex's bashful bookie who has been called in with the idea that he might finance the venture, in the male role.
Foster adds a couple of unusual twists, such as the way Rollie doubles as a narrator with amusing asides to the audience, adding up to an evening of lighthearted fun.
