We get a spoof of Philapeano movies, action movies, slashers and just about every other popular thing at the drive-in.

After several doors are slammed in her face, she eventually picks up an agent (Dick Miller) who gets her working at Miracle Pictures but soon a maniac is knocking off their stars. Candy (Candice Rialson) arrives in Hollywood and before long she realizes that becoming a star isn't going to be so easy.
