He helps Belinda back to her apartment, but not before he is mistaken as her attacker by a troop of Bluebirds (girl scouts). She notes this would not have happened if she had a pimp to watch out for her, but finding a good one is difficult. Chuck comes home one evening to find Belinda injured on the floor of the elevator, struck by a client who did not want to pay. Though all ends peacefully, by the time the incident is over Charlotte decides to head home leaving Chuck frustrated. Chuck realizes that Belinda thought he looked familiar because they had passed each other in the hall. He is rescued from being beaten up when the owner of the apartment, which turns out to be Belinda, intervenes (Cowboy hat is a client). Chuck knocks at the door to ask them to turn it down and is confronted by a large, muscular man in a cowboy hat. Chuck invites Charlotte over to spend the evening with him on his one night off, but she is unable to get in the mood for love because of a country-western song being played loudly in the next apartment. He repeatedly tries to comes up with schemes to make money such as chauffeuring college boy Jeffrey ( Clint Howard) on a prom date using a hearse as a limo. He is continually making notes to himself on his portable tape recorder, though most of his ideas are silly or impractical. Bill is an irrepressible character who talks constantly and thinks of himself as an idea man. Chuck's neurotic, diet-obsessed, fiance, Charlotte ( Gina Hecht) tells him that he should be more aggressive and speak up for himself., Chuck starts his first night shift and has to train a new partner: Bill Blazejowski ( Michael Keaton). Chuck, being an introverted milk-toast, puts up no protest, though it is clear that he is annoyed. That evening as he is going home Chuck is told by his boss ( Floyd Levine) that he is being moved to the night shift to make room for the boss's nephew. Chuck is embarrassed as he is afraid the detective taking Belinda's statement may think that he is one of her customers. Belinda remarks that the loss of Frankin will be hard on his girls, then notes that Chuck looks familiar. The next day one of Frankin's girls, Belinda ( Shelley Long) identifies his body as morgue attendant Chuck Lumley ( Henry Winkler) looks on. As the body is transported to the New York City morgue by hearse, the credits roll. They catch him and punish him for not giving them a cut of his prostitution profits by dropping him out a high-rise window. The movie opens with pimp Franklin ( Julius LeFlore) being chased through the New York City night by gangsters Cleon ( Badja Djola) and Pig ( Richard Belzer). The questions become if this business is sustainable in light of the fact of everything about it being against Chuck's general nature, and if he will be able to balance his growing feelings for Belinda against having a personal relationship with a hooker. Chuck eventually agrees, if only because of his affection for Belinda, but he expands on that idea into a full-fledged pseudo-legitimate business for all their collective benefit. From this knowledge, Billy sprouts the latest germ of a scheme: that he and Chuck, in their unsupervised state, should act as pimps - or what Billy calls love brokers - for Belinda and her friends during their night shift at the morgue. After Chuck befriends his neighbor, a good-natured hooker named Belinda Keaton, he learns that Belinda's former pimp was murdered, leaving her and many of her hooker friends pimp-less and thus unprotected by the unpredictability of their johns. He is even more dismayed when he meets his new night shift colleague, William Blazejowski - who calls himself Billy Blaze - a manic, non-stop talking man, who is always trying to come up with get rich quick schemes, which are mostly hair-brained ideas. He is dismayed to learn that he has been reassigned to the night shift at the morgue, if only because it will take away time available to spend with his straight-laced but neurotic fiancée, Charlotte Koogle. His fear of life is the primary reason he took a job as a morgue attendant rather than stay in his previous high stress job on Wall Street, despite having a natural aptitude in finance and business.
