Suzie has become entirely disinterested in physical intimacy, a frustration that pushes Joel into a state of perpetual exhaustion and longing.Desperate for advice, Joel turns to his dim-witted friend Dean, a bartender who introduces him to a world of questionable solutions. Dean suggests that Joel hire a gigolo to seduce Suzie, believing that if she cheats, Joel will be absolved of guilt and free to pursue other women without remorse. Meanwhile, at the factory, chaos erupts when a goofy factory worker named Step loses a testicle in an industrial accident involving a mixing vat.
