Chili Palmer, uno strozzino ormai annoiato del suo lavoro, che arriva a Los Angeles per riscuotere un debito da un produttore cinematografico male in arnese, Harry Zimm. Chili dapprima lo minaccia ma poi gli suggerisce un'idea brillante per un film. Senza nemmeno rendersene conto Chili viene risucchiato dal grande vortice di Hollywood: entra in confidenza con il protagonista Martin Weir, fa la corte alla regina delle attrici di second'ordine Karen Flores e riesce perfino ad avere un tavolo ai ristoranti più ricercati di Hollywood. Tutto filerebbe liscio per questo nuovo produttore, se non fosse per i trafficanti di droga e per la mafia che non lo lasciano mai in pace.
