A war hero makes his way to Hollywood, where his attempts to become a star are derailed by a world of sex and perversion. Former spy Lucky Jordan is a threat to the post-World War II Hollywood establishment. After nearly finishing off Hitler and winning acclaim for his heroic exploits, the Jewish Jordan heads to California to seek his fortune. Just as it seems Lucky's about to catch his first break, scandal erupts when he's photographed in a compromising position with several underage girls. Disgraced, he fades away from the movie scene and uses his unique combination of talents for the benefit of Madame Mona, pleasure-provider extraordinaire. As a bodyguard and gigolo, Lucky exacts revenge on the men who set him up by sexually pleasing their wives. His life of sexual addiction is ultimately unsatisfying... thrilling homage to pulp magazines and golden-age comic books¿ -Kirkus Discoveries
