When a gunshot sends Hooperman falling down a flight of stairs and into unconsciousness, he wakes up to discover that he is chained to a wall in a tacky underworld whose only other inhabitant is a red-suited demon who takes devilish delight in playing Pat Boone's 'April Love' on an old phonograph.

Hooperman is found in a compromising position with a female suspect whose retelling of the incident differs wildly from his.
