While trying to get into the pants of the most beautiful girl in the world, his crush, Nina Pennington, Thibault ends up in the back of a limo on the road to rock 'n' roll fame opening up for David Bowie. But on the way there he stumbles upon a few things: a few dead Mafia hitmen, a nymphomaniac next door, dying Latin teachers, narcoleptic nuns, police, evil lawyers, buffoon reporters, televangelists and greedy relatives.
