A veteran mobster discovers the grass is greener on the other side in this broad independent
comedy.
Frank (
Frank Adonis) is a 60-year-old Mafia lieutenant who has been entrusted with a suitcase full of high-quality marijuana that has arrived in Manhattan from the Deep South and is ready for sale.
Frank, however, happens to make the acquaintance of
Jade (
Theo Kogan), an attractive young woman who sings with a
punk-rock band.
Jade turns
Frank's head, and she, in turn, samples the wares from
Frank's suitcase.
Jade persuades
Frank to try some of the weed, and before long he has a decidedly more forgiving attitude about life and those around him.
Frank's new laid-back personality, however, doesn't go over well with his bosses, especially after the stash he was given goes missing and ends up being stolen and re-stolen by a dizzying variety of underground personalities.
High Times' Potluck -- which, as the title infers, was produced and financed in part by the well-known marijuana advocacy magazine -- also stars
Jason Mews,
Frank Gorshin,
Sylvia Miles, and
Jason Isaacs; noted cannabis enthusiasts
Tommy Chong and
David Peel also make cameo appearances.
