Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Louie B. (Tim Brazzil) is an out-of-towner trying to get Los Angelenos to kiss for his tourist's video camera. He inadvertently runs afoul of a bank-robbing gang led by Stacey (Mary Crosby) and gets conked on the head, temporarily losing his sight. He is taken in hand by the madame of a whorehouse, and he takes it into his head to get the sex workers there (male and female) to talk about their lives. Since many of these stories are the genuine article, told by real-live L.A. sex workers, this part of the film qualifies as a kind of documentary.
