Novi zadatak koji Chili Palmer (John Travolta), utjerivač dugova za mafiju, dobiva zvuči kao pravi izazov. Naime, posao ga vodi u Hollywood, gdje se došao obračunati s poznatim producentom niskobudžetnih horor filmova Harryjem Zimmom (Gene Hackman). Iako je Chili spreman od njega izvući novac milom ili silom, shvati kako Harry i nije tako loš čovjek, a posebno ga fascinira njegova lijepa djevojka Karen (Rene Russo). Blještavilo Hollywooda Chilija potpuno zaslijepi te se on odluči iskušati u filmskoj industriji. Njegov prvi zadatak je uvjeriti egocentričnu i umišljenu zvijezdu Martina Weira (Danny DeVito) da prihvati ulogu u Harryjevom novom filmu, koji već svi vide kao dobar materijal u utrci za Oskara. Tako se od utjerivača dugova Chili pretvori u filmskog agenta koji ubrzo shvati da svijet sedme umjetnosti i nije toliko različit od iskvarenog svijeta mafije.
