The film stars Guttenberg as Jimmy Zoole, an unemployed actor whose life is falling apart: his girlfriend has just left him, and his pet cat has just died of a bladder infection. One day he catches Eddie (Lombardo Boyar) in his apartment trying to rob him and ties the burglar up, but unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with Eddie. However, the film tones down the novel's original ending, in which Jimmy and Eddie team up to stage another crime and then run off together.
