Grilled

Maurice and Dave fail to sell steaks via mail. Their boss gives them a set of cards with the names and addresses of their top buyers and warns this is their final opportunity. The pressure sets the tone for a desperate chase to land a big sale.

Dave loses nearly all the buyer cards, leaving only one card in his possession. That lone card points to a woman named Loridonna, igniting a new lead in the challenge to make a sale. The loss heightens urgency and sets off a chain of unusual encounters.

Loridonna is on the line with her friend Suzanne, who has swallowed a fish and needs help. Loridonna transfers the call to Dave, while she seductively chats about Maurice's 'meat'. Dave tries to steer the call toward a potential deal, while Suzanne contemplates self-harm.

They drive Loridonna to Suzanne's house, where they discover that Suzanne is an alcoholic whose suicide had been a false alarm. The revelation compounds the tension as the plot shifts from sales to danger. The situation exposes the fragility and deception surrounding the characters.

Loridonna and Maurice begin making out, interrupting the tense moment as Suzanne's husband Tony returns home. Tony casually changes clothes while revealing that Suzanne was once a man, leaving Maurice unsettled and disillusioned. The encounter raises the personal stakes.

Suzanne confirms the unusual truth about her identity and behavior, but Maurice remains disappointed. Tony then tries to kill Dave, wrongly assuming he seduced Suzanne. After the initial danger, Dave and Tony find common ground and become friendly.

While Tony grills steaks, two hitmen ambush him and shoot him, ending his involvement in the volatile situation. The attack heightens the danger for Maurice and Dave, who must improvise to survive. The violence pushes the plot toward a new showdown.

Dave and Maurice manage to grab some of Tony's guns and fight back, but the hitmen place them in the trunk of their car and drive away toward a party. Maurice eventually frees himself, reuniting with Dave to plot their next move. The forced mobility creates a strange carnival-like backdrop for their plan to survive.

Maurice frees Dave and they begin telling party guests about the tenderness of their steaks. They spot Goldbluth, a name from the cards, and realize he is a key buyer. The encounter reveals the high-stakes nature of their sales, and the men understand they must protect Goldbluth from danger.

The hitmen close in as Goldbluth signs a contract to buy meat, and the men warn him that two hitmen are here to kill him. Dave hands Goldbluth Tony's gun, hoping to deter the danger and to keep the deal alive. The tension in the party mounts as violence edges closer.

Dave and Maurice drive off with Goldbluth's purchase, looking back to see shots fired. Goldbluth emerges unharmed, establishing his resilience and importance to their plan. The escape heightens the stakes as they put distance between themselves and the danger.

Maurice and Dave return to their boss with seven orders and twenty-one thousand dollars upfront from Goldbluth. The payoff validates their risky pursuit and marks a final resolution to their failed mail-order scheme. The film closes on a note of questionable morality and profit.
