===================================================================

Synopsis: Jonathan (Allan Paule) dreams of becoming a pilot and hopes that by joining Eric’s (William Lorenzo) gang, he could find a backer for his studies. His mother, a take home meals caterer, isn’t happy over his affiliation as she feels he is being treated like a servant by the rich brats.

Jonathan is introduced to starlets and brought to parties. One night, in a disco, he sees the former star, Rachel (Dina Bonnevie), inebriated and dancing alone. He introduces himself to her. Rachel is unnerved by his lack of sophistication and orders him to get a light and a drink. When he returns to her table, she is gone.

Rachel is the mistress of a powerful mayor, Edmundo Guatlo (Eddie Garcia). He supports her and her family. However, he is the jealous sort and does not want her to appear in movies anymore. He cannot stomach seeing her in the arms of her leading men. He has his right hand man, Falcon (Bembol Roco), tail her wherever she goes.

One night, outside the disco, Rachel’s date is messed up by Falcon’s men. Jonathan helps Rachel get away. This is the beginning of their friendship.

It is election time. Edmundo’s wife wants him to project a moral image and asks him to get rid of his mistress. Edmundo tells Rachel to adopt a low profile. Rachel agrees in exchange for the release of her boyfriend, Levy (Christopher de Leon), who has been imprisoned for several years.

Edmundo acquiesces but has other plans for Levy. He wants him to assassinate his political opponent, Tuazon (Ray Ventura). Levy aims his high powered rifle at him during a political rally. With his rival removed, Guatlo now wants Levy dead.

With the help of Jonathan and his friends, Rachel and Levy run away from Edmundo’s men. However, Falcon holds her parents as hostages. In trying to rescue them, Levy is shot. Her parents and some of Jonathan’s friends are also killed. Rachel now tries to outsmart Edmundo. She makes a tape recording of their conversation. In a political rally, Rachel inserts the cassette into the sound system. There is bedlam when it is played. Rachel is shot by Falcon but she is happy in having exposed the Guatlos.

=========================================================

Synopsis: Pol’s (Allan Paule) boyfriend, Larry, is a U.S. serviceman who is ending his tour of duty. He has been giving ample amounts to Pol which is used to augment the family’s meager income. Now the two are separating and Pol has to find a job. Pol’s friend, Greg, tells him to go to Manila where he could make a living as a macho dancer. Although his parents think he is working as a waiter, Greg is actually a successful hustler. He is now going to Japan to join his Japanese boyfriend.

In Manila, Pol is brought to see the mama-san of D’Pogi Niteclub. His crotch is felt approvingly and he is allowed to work. He is surprised to see the brazenness of the front act --- young boys like him masturbating in front of a largely foreign crowd. In the comfort room, he witnesses two male prostitutes thrashing a confrere. The fight is stopped by a short tomboy bouncer. The bruised one’s name is Noel (Daniel Fernando), who advises him to leave the club and instead work in a decent one ---Mama

Charlie’s. He invites him to live in his one-room apartment in Quiapo.

Pol is accepted by Mama Charlie and is introduced to the other guys. He is warned about Dennis (William Lorenzo) who is a dope pusher and an agent of Kid (Johnny Vicar), a crooked cop.

Dennis and Noel are partners in an act that calls for them to shower and make love together. Pol is taught the movements of macho dancing. He is a fast learner and is soon allowed to join the pros on stage.

On a free night, Noel introduces Pol to his female friends: Bambi (Jacklyn Jose) and her gang. They are prostitutes plying the Ermita trade and are often high on drugs. Bambi is attracted to Pol. But there is something on Noel’s mind that night. He is thinking of his sister, Pining (Princess Punzalan), whom he left in the province. He has been informed that she suddenly disappeared and that she could be the captive of white slavery gangs preying in remote areas. According to his information, she could be in one of the heavily guarded red houses in Manila.

With the help of Pol, he combs the prostitution dens of the city. They finally find her in one of the Chinatown brothels protected by Kid. They plot her escape but Noel is caught and shot by Kid. Pining is given Noel’s savings passbook and goes back to the province. Pol lies in wait for Kid and, seizing an opportunity, shoots him.

Pol now tries to convince Bambi to give up streetwalking and join him in the province. But she is practical and knows that he cannot afford her lifestyle. They break up as friends.

It is again a gay night at Mama Charlie’s. Pol dances for the last time on stage.
