The movie opens with some rhythmic singing to a black screen showing credits, then showing why the singing is present as it fades in: the rhythmic singing matches the pace of the back of a man under a blanket moving up and down as he is having sex in the missionary position with an attractive young woman. Sated, he stops, and rolls over, quite satisfied with his performance, and the woman (whose name we discover later is Kristi), also apparently quite pleased with it as well, snuggles up next to him, when their post-coital reverie is interrupted by banging on the door. We discover the man, whose name is Scotty Palmer, has been interrupted by his landlord to inform him he has to get out because he's been evicted for non-payment of rent.
