Plot
In Los Angeles, Michael (Frank Whaley) meets Sarah (Christine Harnos) at the gym. She invites him to dinner at the apartment she shares with her mother (Sheree North) and their dog Jasper. While the three of them are at the table eating dinner, Jasper dies suddenly. Sarah's mother insists that Michael bury Jasper in the park, along with a bag of Jasper's belongings- such as a ball, a blanket, a bowl, and a squeaky toy.
Michael takes the dog (in a garbage bag) and gets into a taxi. The deranged driver (Randy Quaid) insists that they sell the dead dog's body and they spend the night driving around the city, selling off the dog's belongings one by one. Eventually Sarah joins them, and she too is eager to sell the dead dog. They go to a fur coat maker, a hot dog restaurant surrounded by homeless people, a Chinese restaurant, they are confronted by a gang, and they attend a voodoo ceremony to talk to the dog's spirit. Eventually Michael and Sarah split up from the cab driver and they get into an argument on the street in front of a nightclub run by drag queen twins. Michael decides he is no longer interested in Sarah, and they go their separate ways.
The next morning, Michael starts burying Jasper in the park, only to have the cab driver show up again, and steal the dog's corpse. Michael then notices another man burying a dead dog in the park. He tells the man that he can sell the dead dog, and the movie ends.
