A writer needs funds to make a film based on her screenplay. She will stop at nothing to get the bucks including dancing at a nude bar, stealing cash and hijacking snakes.

An off-beat, slapstick indie adult comedy tells the story of a pair of aspiring filmmakers who attempt to make their magnum opus, a sci-fi epic called Space Pirates. Like many other young directors and actors, the pair face one major obstacle--they have no money. To help fund the project, the girl moonlights as a kooch dancer at a local bar and uses every curve of her body to manipulate her will. One night she finds herself in possession of a pair of very special snakes whose venomous bite can cure baldness. Realizing the reptiles' worth, she and her dancer buddies head out to try and sell them.—Ulf Kjell Gür

In LA, Terri is making a movie called "Space Pirates." For cash and in hopes of finding a sugar daddy, she dances in a cabaret. Nick, her boyfriend, is jealous. When a customer flashes a briefcase full of money, Terri arranges to meet him at a hotel; she's stashed Nick in the closet to steal the money while she keeps the john, Chao, busy. When Nick gets the case open, there's no cash, just snakes. Terri realizes that the snakes must have some value, so she ties up Chao to force him to tell her how to convert the snakes back into cash. She keeps the dim Nick involved and also gets help from other cabaret customers beguiled by her charms. But what about "Space Pirates"?—<[email protected]>
