Synopsis

Riding high on his third Shafta Lifetime Achievement award, Rod Shuffler proclaims his intent to realise an Oscar-worthy feature film, to secure his place in Hollywood. Working closely with his old-boy network and production company 'Blue Hardest', auditions are held and Rod reluctantly casts newcomer Sandy Shores in the role of Chastity Cincture to play opposite adult film legend David Goliath as Dirk Starbutt.
After a less than successful screening of rough-cut dailies to the financial backers, Rod must relinquish creative control. The financiers are pushing for run-of-the-mill hardcore adult entertainment but Rod resists steering in that direction, instead opting for a simulated sex scene. With the financial backers less than impressed with simulated sex, the decision is made to rewrite the script and have Chastity murdered.
