Plot
Rick Lemming lives in the centre of Amsterdam. He runs a gambling hall, and keeps pigeons on his rooftop as a hobby. He rents a room in his house to schoolteacher Penny van der Laan. Rick is close friends with karate champion Ed Swaan.
One evening, when Rick and Penny go to watch Ed’s comeback match, they meet Ed’s girlfriend, the singer Lilly Marischka, and her TV crew. It soon turns out that Lilly has to agree to appear in a porn film in exchange for help building her career. Under the pretext of shooting an 'art film,' Ed is also dragged into the production.
When Rick sneaks in to take a look, he sees things getting out of hand at the film studio, and Ed and Lilly refuse to cooperate any further. When Lilly demands the film back, they are threatened and are therefore forced to flee “naked over the fence” to Ed’s gym, and from there to Rick’s house. Their clothes are left behind at the film studio.
The next day, the men go investigating together and uncover a number of shady practices by the TV executives, who are not about to let their porn plans be thwarted and would prefer to get rid of the determined Rick. As a result, Rick even ends up thrown in a canal before being rescued by Ed. Through the murder of the studio boss, an attack on Lilly, the murder of a too-loose-lipped girlfriend, and the kidnapping of Penny to get the film back, the story culminates in a spectacular tram chase through Amsterdam. The villains are eventually apprehended, Rick can return to his pigeons, Penny to her students, and Lilly to her beloved Ed.
