A farcical mistaken-identity comedy built on the collision between a mobster-fleeing businessman and the unexpected world of a gay bathhouse, driven by rapid-fire humor and situational chaos.

To escape from a mobster, businessman Gaetano Proclo orders a cab driver to take him to a place where he can't be found. Unfortunately for Gaetano, the place turns out to be a gay bathhouse.
