Ray Ruby (Willem Dafoe) is the manager and host of Ray Ruby's Paradise, a New York strip club. He likes to think of it as his little Garden of Eden filled with the most beautiful and sexy women in the world. But things are not going well for this amateur singer and entrepreneur with a gambling addiction. His accountant, Jay (Roy Dotrice), informs him that they are short of cash and can't pay anyone. To make matters worse, the landlady, Lillian (Sylvia Miles), is hounding Ray for four months' back rent and is threatening to sell the space to Bed Bath & Beyond. The pole dancers are getting restless, and Ray's brother Johnie (Matthew Modine), a hairdresser from Staten Island who provides the cash to keep the place going, has decided to "pull the plug," as he puts it.
The action all takes place in an evening as things start to go up in (occasionally literal) smoke.
