When a young broker discovers how much a worthless stock can earn, he must keep the party ahead of the law.

Longer logline

When a stockbroker wiped out on his first day of trading finds a boiler room selling junk shares at fifty per cent commission, in a world where a firm can be built out of childhood friends, quaaludes and a phone script, a salesman who does not know how to stop must keep the scheme, the yacht and the marriage afloat, before the agent riding the subway home assembles a case out of his own boasting.
