Rollo Hemphill has a history with a life-sized rubber doll he
dressed up to look like glamorous Hollywood star Monica LaMonica.
For a time, the doll's worldwide travels provided convenient cover
and sensational press for her living counterpart. But now,
rubber-Monica has disappeared from crusty Hugo Farnsworth's yacht
in St. Tropez. Like it or (mostly) not, Rollo gets drafted as an
unofficial government operative to deal with the kidnappers. The
doll has become a pawn in an international game centered on an
eccentric Turk who collects lookalikes - but who may have also
collected state secrets, including the plans for cold fusion and a
scheme for bankrupting the world's money supply. All Rollo wants to
do is get safely home to his estranged wife Felicia - who now
happens to be pregnant. Is the child his? If not, will Rollo be
bold enough to risk everything for a real life with a real woman?
Once again, Rollo will prove that the male ego is as vulnerable as
it is predictably deflatable.
In this hilarious sequel to "My Inflatable Friend," clueless tyro
Rollo Hemphill continues to fail upward to become the youngest-ever
director of a multimillion-dollar charitable foundation. Far too
late, he begins to suspect it's a money laundry for sinister
players in the Secret Government who are setting him up to take the
fall for an international fraud. But his paranoia becomes most
acute when he becomes entangled with a succession of women he calls
"rubber babes." Claiming he was inspired by the satiric novels of

A car jockey at a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills, youthful
hacker-turned-slacker Rollo Hemphill devises a screwball scheme for
making his girlfriend jealous. Through a silly but magical ruse,
our hero gets everything he's ever dreamed about - except the real
love of a real, live girl. "My Inflatable Friend" is a witty,
cautionary tale about the perils of pretending to be someone you're
not - and the hazards of stroking every male's most private and
vulnerable part - his swelling ego.
