When Lee, a high class New York lawyer, is dumped by the beautiful, yet cold, Holly, with whom he'd been having an affair, his bruised ego jumps at the chance to get back at her through blackmail. Lee hires a gangster pal, Nicastro, to bug Holly's favorite no-tell-motel room, in the hope of catching her in the act - on tape - with her new younger lover, thus collecting evidence that could destroy her marriage. However, the plans immediately begin to go awry as Nicastro hires a two bit lecher, Archie, and his own heroin addicted girlfriend, Kim, to run the job. It's not long before Lee is in a heap of trouble as sex, drugs, and even murder foil his plans.
