Just the Ticket
Comedy. The king of all the ticket touts in New York, Gary Starke, has more than his fair share of problems to contend with: a new rival from Miami named Casino, who by fair means or foul is undercutting Gary's share of business; and Gary's ex-wife, Linda, whose dearest wish is for Gary to settle down and get a "proper" job for once.
