SYNOPSIS

He Has The Dream. He Has The Desire. But Does He Have The Stomach?

Crazy Legs Conti is an eccentric New York City window washer, nude model, sperm donor, and huge fan of the annual July 4th hot dog eating competition. When he casually breaks the world oyster eating record in New Orleans, Crazy Legs decides to dedicate himself to fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming a professional competitive eater.
