Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
A poor filmmaker tries to create something from almost nothing in this amusing comedy which is told in the first person by the film's creator. Ken wants to make a movie but he has no money. His wife, a producer, wants to help. But they have no money. The movie will be about an important moment in their relationship. The two use their natural resourcefulness, including stealing, to get the needed film. When they finally have enough, the actors who will play them are introduced. The four subsequently talk about the story which describes one strange night in New York. The couple was having a normal night when a revolver toting cat burglar bursts into their apartment looking for a place to stay and ideas for getting back together with his wife.
