Yokel Boy background

Yokel Boy

A self-proclaimed "Perfect Movie Fan" becomes the head of a production company in a publicity stunt, but it's unclear who's aware of the joke. He seizes the opportunity to cast a notorious gangster, Buggsy Malone, to play himself in a film.

Joe Ruddy, a self-proclaimed "Perfect Movie Fan", is unexpectedly appointed head of a production company as a publicity stunt. However, not everyone is aware of the joke, and Joe takes it a step further by hiring notorious gangster "Buggsy" Malone to play himself in a biopic about his life. Despite having gone straight, "Buggsy" still exhibits some old habits, including taking control of the film and the studio. Meanwhile, his sister Molly falls for Joe, and the head of the studio, R. B. Harris, grows increasingly disenchanted with the publicity stunt.
