Sebastian (Andrew Fitzgerald) works for the lazy combo of frienemies Rosetta (Reno) and Professor Morey (Mink Stole) translating dead romance languages. He lives with his roommate Ida (Amy Miles), a cyber-chick agoraphobic nudist who idealizes Hippo (T.J. Kenneally), a Boy George look-alike she's only ever met on-line.

Idas Aunt Gertrude (Dolores Duffy), misunderstanding their BFF relationship, wills the house to Ida and her "husband" Sebastian. Not actually being married, Ida discovers she could lose her home to Noodles the poodle, her grandmothers dog! She decides to seek out the exotic Hippo whom she has only seen in pictures. Meanwhile, Sebastian offers to sacrifice his gayness by marrying Ida. They head to the desert to get married and save the house. Following them is a now love struck Hippo on Idas trail and Sebastians bickering bosses, Professor Morey and Rosetta, who are in desperate need of the manuscript he has been working on.

What follows is a high camp road race on a collision course with a Mafia hotel scam, a dog-napping, and most ruthlessly, a dye job gone wild!
