In this never-before seen filmitization of Eric Jonrosh's best-selling novel The Spoils Before Dying, jazz musician Rock Banyon is accused of the murder of his former lover, Fresno Foxglove. The police give Rock two (maybe three) days to solve the murder, and he skips town and heads to Actual Mexico City... where he meets another old lover, Delores DeWinter.

After Rock freaks out on The Artie Mann Show, he discovers that Fresno's sax player has turned up dead. However, he's holding the wrong sax, and Rock figures that it's the key to the mystery of who killed Fresno.
