Synopsis

Charlie, a respectable family man, wakes one day wearing a straight jacket, a mouth gag and weird underwear. Next to him there's a semi-naked male hooker in stockings passed out in bed. And a baby lamb. He has no memory of what happened last night. His wife Helen is leaving thousands of phone messages, asking where he is. Suddenly, his mother Susan arrives to the house and starts climbing the stairs, to Charlie's horror. He quickly pushes the hooker inside the closet and gets himself inside right before Susan opens the door and sees the mess in the room. And the lamb. She goes away scared. While she's placing the groceries, Charlie manages to go out the back door unnoticed. But then Susan listens to a warning message on the radio announcing that a dangerous mad man escaped from the Asylum. She then sees Charlie outside struggling with the straight jacket and she thinks it's the mad man. Helen arrives and Susan runs to warn her. But Susan recognizes Charlie and goes out to ask for an explanation. At the same time two orderlies from the Asylum find Charlie on the street and they think he's the mad man. Charlie is at a crossroads: going with the Asylum guys even though he's not the mad man, or go back home and try to explain is wife.
