A mega-discoteca futurística Zillion é um fato e Frank passa de negociante de computadores a figura central da vida noturna de Antuérpia. Ele desfila com as mulheres mais bonitas da Bélgica e faz uma aliança com Dennis Black Magic, o rei do pornô que fornece os extras picantes. Infelizmente, belas canções também não duram muito.
