Story
John Burgundian ( Candy ), a handsome limo driver who dreams of a drummer career, is engaged to the daughter (Mills) of an extremely unpopular American congressman (Hingle). The senator is horrified by the choice of his daughter, and then there is a friend of Burgundy, the director ( Levy ), with the help of blackmail, breaks with the movie camera for the wedding ceremony. Troubles with the groom, the Burgundian is forced to hide from a gang of motorcyclists, after which he comes to his senses on a night street, handcuffed to some dead man (Hudson). To top it off, the local aerobics studio turns out to be a cover for a religious sect led by San Yi (Libertini), who conceived the murder of the future father-in-law of an unlucky driver. The fanatic’s plan is simple and bold - to kidnap John, pump him up with drugs and brainwash him, incite the congressman on his wedding day. However, John, with the help of an even more unlucky friend (Flaherty), almost manages to get out and, to a certain extent, save the ceremony, after which he lives happily ever after. More or less.
