 Late one night, eight guys are sitting around at a cigar club in Beverly Hills, smoking cigars, playing high-stakes poker, and complaining about how, in life, men always seem to get screwed-over by women. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. It s a gorgeous young woman, frightened and disheveled. In a panic, she tells the men that her ex-boyfriend is after her, trying to hurt her. She needs help. Every man in the room instantly does an about-face: going from complaining about women, to rallying to the aid of what seems to be a classic "damsel in distress". Over the course of the evening, the young woman insinuates herself into each man s life and uses her feminine wiles to manipulate each character, and soon all the men are competing for her attention. In no time, she s in complete control of the room, and the men are at each other s throats. Just as it comes to a head, the woman s pursuer arrives and the eight men get ready to defend her. But soon they realize the shocking truth: the whole thing has been a sting. The so-called "Pursuer" and the woman are working as a team. The men have been set up. And they fell for it. After the woman and her accomplice leave with the $80,000 in poker-stakes, the stunned men look at each other for a moment with the horrifying realization that once again they ve been screwed over by a woman! Then without missing a beat, they all go back to smoking cigars, playing poker and complaining about women again, as if nothing ever happened.
