In this hilarious and affectionate homage to B movies, Morty Fineman (Jerry Stiller) is an independent schlock film producer with a problem: He’s broke and can’t finance his new film about a singing serial killer. So, he enlists the aid of his estranged daughter (Janeane Garofalo) and his assistant (Max Perlich), to try to rekindle interest in his films by mounting a Fineman retrospective at the High Desert Film Festival in Chaparral, Nev.
