Instead of Joker heading deeper into the Vietnam War after his assignment with Stars and Stripes, he and his buddy Rafterman get caught up in a scheme with the street-smart Vietnamese woman they met (let’s call her Mai). But Mai isn’t just a sex worker—she’s a hustler with connections to the local crime underground.
Mai ropes them into a plan to rob a corrupt ARVN general who’s hoarding stolen U.S. military gold and cash meant for aid. Joker, disillusioned and cynical, sees the absurdity of the war and agrees. Rafterman is hesitant but can’t resist the thrill.
They form an unlikely trio:
Joker: the clever planner with a dark sense of humor.
Mai: the inside woman with local street smarts, charm, and guts.
Rafterman: the awkward tech guy, in charge of gear, escape routes, and surveillance.
The heist is successful—but bittersweet. They get the gold, but are pursued by both Viet Cong and U.S. MPs. Rafterman gets shot during the escape, Joker and Mai go on the run. Final shot: Joker lighting a cigarette in a dark alley in Bangkok, watching Mai disappear into the crowd, gold duffle in hand.
