It’s his birthday, and as usual the Detroit movie- nerd Clarence Worley is at the movies to see a kung- fu triple- feature. His boss on the comic book store has ordered a rookie hooker for his birthday. A girl named Alabama Whitman. Alabama walks through the doors with her bounty of food. She makes a quick scan of the theatre. Not many people are there. She makes a beeline for the front, which happens to be Clarence's area of choice. She picks the row of seats just behind Clarence and starts asking her way down it. Clarence turns and sees this beautiful girl all alone moving towards him. He turns his attention back to the screen, trying not to be so obvious. When Alabama gets right behind Clarence, her foot thunks a discarded wine bottle, causing her to trip and spill her popcorn over Clarence. Clarence tries to wipe her out of his mind, which isn't easy, and get back into the movie. They both watch the screen for a moment. Then, Alabama leans forward and taps Clarence on the shoulder.
The theatre light goes up. Alabama's now sitting in the next seat to Clarence. They're both applauding.
Clarence and Alabama are sitting in a booth at an all-night Denny's. Clarence is having a piece of chocolate cream pie and a coke. Alabama's nibbling on a peace of heated apple pie and sipping on a large Tab.
Later Clarence has taken Alabama to where he works. It's a comic book store called Heroes For Sale. Alabama thinks this place is super-cool.
Clarence's bedroom is a pop culture explosion. Movie posters, pictures of Elvis, anything you can imagine. The two walk through the door. Clarence and Alabama slow dance in the middle of his room to Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart". Clarence wakes up in his bed, alone. He looks around, and no Alabama. Then he hears crying in the distance. He puts on a robe and investigates. She's curled up in a chair crying. Clarence approaches her. She tries to compose herself. She says she’s a call-girl. This doesn’t seem to bother Clarence since asks her to be his wife.
The newlyweds are snuggling up together on the couch watching TV. Alabama watches the screen, but every so often she looks down to admire the ring on her hand.
In the bathroom Clarence splashes water on his face, trying to wash away the images that keep polluting his mind. Then, he hears a familiar voice. Clarence turns and sees that the voice belongs to Elvis Presley. Clarence isn't surprised to see him. He looks at Elvis. Elvis which is Clarence fantasy- person makes Clarence go to Alabama’s pimp to pick up her things. Clarence sticks a gun down his athletic sock.
His heart's really racing now. He climbs a flight of stairs and makes his way down a dark hallway to apartment 22, the residence of Drexl Spivey. Clarence knocks on the door. A figure jumps in the doorway wearing a yellow T-shirt. This is not how Clarence expected to confront Drexl, but this is exactly what he expected Drexl to be like. He positions himself in front of the food table, demanding Drexl's attention. He says he’s going to pick up Alabama’s things. Clarence takes out an envelope and throws it on the table. Drexl drops his chopsticks and opens the envelope. It's empty. Drexl starts slamming fists into Clarence's face. He’s on the top of him. Drexl bends down and looks for Clarence's wallet in his jacket. He flips it open to driver's license. He hands Marty the driver's license. Marty goes to get the car keys and a jacket. He’s going to pick up Alabama. While Drexl has his attention turned to Marty, Clarence reaches into his sock and pulls out the .38. he sticks the barrel between Drexl's legs. Drexl, who's standing over Clarence, looks down just in time to see Clarence pull the trigger and blow his balls to bits. Tiny spots of blood speckle Clarence's face. Clarence doesn't hesitate, he shoots Marty four times in the chest.
