Plot
Pete and Nancy, both destitute, find that they have been sleeping on the same Florida beach, and decide to work together to make some money. While at a beachfront cafe trying to get the most from their pooled resources, 15 cents, much to the frustration of the cafe's owner, they vow to be staying at the ritzy nearby Villa Riviera hotel by that night.
