The film stars Victor Ertmanis as Scott, a struggling actor who is cast by producer Arthur (Duncan Fraser) in a new film by Vladimir Jezda (Alan Scarfe), a pretentious director from Czechoslovakia.[2] The catch is that it's a pornographic film opposite porn star Del Dukakis (Gale Garnett), in which he is slated to play a sex robot who suffers from erectile dysfunction opposite Del's Countess Sexcula.[2]

The cast also includes Melissa Bell as Adrienne, Tedde Moore as Leslie, Eric Keenleyside as Ernst, Barbara Gordon as Alison, Patrick Brymer as Miller and Cynthia Kereluk as Patsy.
