Spoilers ahead

Deuce Bigalow, played by Rob Schneider, is a rather short and somewhat awkward fish tank cleaner, whose life takes a chaotic turn when he is dismissed from his job for the rather unusual reason of cleaning an aquarium in the nude. With minimal luck in the romance department, Deuce keeps himself busy with menial work. His fate changes when he crosses paths with a charming Russian male escort, Antoine Laconte (portrayed by Oded Fehr), who, before departing for a business trip, asks Deuce to care for his exotic lion-fish and keep an eye on his lavish home.
