It’s Mickey’s Birthday and his girlfriend just left him, so that’s when his friend Clarence shows him a birthday he’ll never forget. The film was completed, but the final reel was destroyed in a lab fire that broke out during editing. The surviving part of the film was shown in part to a small crowd in early 1987. It Later became the basis for True Romance.

This is a very strange film, but it’s awesome to see the beginnings of such a great filmmaker.
