Nick Welter & Kevin Schweer
Script Title: Pornslappers
Logline: A listless Midwesterner travels to Las Vegas in search of easy fortune only to unexpectedly find his destiny as messiah of the local indigent street peddlers.

But even the absurd has a dark side. When the tyrannical Cucaracha attempts to crush their scheme, Stan finally discovers his destiny in the most unlikely of talents as he fights to free Sin City's meekest from their oppression.
