Synopsis
A struggling Greenwich Village artist and his goofy roommate unwittingly get involved in spy intrigue.
After Rick Todd gets a job drawing for a gory science fiction comic book, he desperately needs story ideas. For help, he turns to his roommate, Eugene Fullstack, a fan of lurid comics who keeps having wildly imaginative nightmares as a result of what he reads.
Rick starts stealing the plot lines from Eugene's dreams to use in his work, but the two of them get into trouble because the stories somehow contain real national security secrets. As a result, they are pursued by both U.S. agents and spies, with typically funny, chaotic results.
