Sweeney is a playwright on a career decline. He spends much of his time wheedling money and beer out of his artistic friend Moriarty. One of his few highlights is weekly sex with his ex-wife Georgia.

Sorry John Candy fans, Anthony Newley and Labatt's 50 are the genuine featured players in this film set in the alternative America where garbage men wear international orange hats. If you already know that Yvonne De Carlo was born in Canada then this film is a must see.
