Plot summary
Deuce Bigalow, a former gigolo who now cleans fish tanks, is invited to Amsterdam by his former pimp, T.J. Hicks. There he learns that Europe's gigolos are being murdered, and that T.J.'s employee Lil' Kim has quit rather than risk the same fate. Photographs tie T.J. to the killings and make him the main suspect, and in disguise he talks Deuce into taking up the trade again. Deuce works through the client list left to him by Antoine, another former gigolo, looking for the person behind the murders. Deuce also meets Eva, the niece of police inspector Gaspar Voorsboch, who has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Gaspar questions Deuce about the case without putting much faith in what he hears.
