SYNOPSIS Los Angeles, 1964. Radio host Bob Crane wins the lead role in the TV show Hogan's
Heroes, set in a World War II prison camp. The show becomes a hit, but Crane's home
life suffers when his wife Anne discovers girlie magazines in their garage. On the Hogan's
set, Crane meets hi-fi installer John Carpenter, who turns Crane on to his passions for
video tape recorders and strip clubs. Soon the two are pairing up for after-show sex with
the strippers. Crane begins an affair with Hogan's cast member Patri Olson, and breaks
with Carpenter over the latter's apparent bisexuality, but the two make up. Crane marries
Patti, but Hogan's Heroes is cancelled, and with two families to support, Crane begins
playing dinner theatres around the country, Carpenter joining him for their usual
exploits. Crane's agent Lenny warns him to be careful of his off-screen image, and after
Patti decides to divorce him, his popularity slumps. Trying to go straight, Crane breaks
conclusively with Carpenter. Later that night, someone slips into Crane's hotel room...
