In Venice, Los Angeles, private investigator Steve Ford gets his assistant John to locate a young woman, Nola, that he was hired to find, only for Ford to have sex with her. This results in him being chased by her brothers, who had hired him. He hides at his friend Tino's pizza place, and in return, agrees to steal back Tino's stolen car from a gang leader named Spyder. He disguises himself as a pizza man to get into Spyder's house, and barely gets the car out alive.
