Stop and Go
Perico and Emilio, almost good looking teenagers, enterprising bums and lovers of the seamy side of student life, have the same problem: they have no place to take their girlfriends to give free rein to their baser passions: they can't go to their homes or those of the girls, and only sluts go to hourly hotels. Faced with this need (and a great deal of pent up testosterone), they decide to become entrepreneurs, thanks to Perico's father's old VW van, that, as well as a possible solution for their lust, can also be turned into the business of a lifetime, as Professor Carranco would say: Today, whoever finds a niche in the market can become a millionaire.
