My older brother Johnny takes me across the Border to Tijuana in order to give me a learning experience. By my mother's insistence this trip is to show me real poverty and wake me up and out of my oppositional-defiant 15 year old attitude. The moment we cross the border the trip begins to unravel when we get lost in a ghetto neighborhood. Things worsen when we are stopped by a Mexican Cop and given a choice of spending some money in his brother's club, The Chi-Chi Room, or going to jail. In the Chi Chi room we met 'Lil Miss Amazon' a scroungy stripper who tries to seduce into participating in lewd activities that are offensive to our Christian morality. We try to escape her but end up in a whorehouse in the rear of the club where we're confronted by a saturnine, beetle-juice madam that seeks to exploit us. We manage to escape but not before having another run in with 'Lil Miss amazon. We stagger back across the border forever changed.
