JULIO! The most famous actor in Hollywood, constantly hogs the spotlight while his friend and co-star, Bruce, languishes away in Julio's tremendous shadow. That is, until Bruce's thirsty agent, Cash, and power hungry actress wife, Porsche Chevrolet, incite Bruce to murder Julio at Scott Baio's birthday party.
