In New York, the gamblers and partners Dante (Andre Gregory) and Cecil (Buck Henry) own a successful restaurant. Among his employees, the British bartender Monte (David Bowie) is a compulsive liar that wants to marry any waitress to get his Visa. The waitress Lucy (Rosanna Arquette) is a Houdini wannabe that is ashamed to exhibit in public. Her best friend is the also waitress Vivian 'Viv' (Eszter Balint) that shares an apartment with her and designed a very especial brassiere. After some confusions, the trio becomes friends and decide to rob the restaurant. The result promotes the place but Dante decides to lie to Lucy to force her to get married with him.
