The cast and crew of a German film company are on location awaiting materials (due to lack of funds) and the director, Jeff (Lou Castel). While they wait, the time is spent drinking, fighting, and sleeping around. When Jeff arrives, the funding has still not shown, and so more of the same antics continue as insights are gained on the filmmakers' lives.
