Inhalt¹

A woman, known only as Rita, is involved in a car crash on Mulholland Drive, in Hollywood California, with two men, who are apparently evil. In the crash, the two men die, but Rita escapes. She remembers nothing afterwards, not even her name, but simply crawls away. She stumbles to an apartment complex and hides in a bush outside of it. Meanwhile, at a restaurant, two men named Herb and Dan converse. Dan reveals he had a nightmarish dream about the particular restaurant they´re in. When the dream begins to come true, the two high-tail it out of there. They go to an alley next to it, where Dan dies for no apparent reason. Later, a wannabe actress named Betty arrives in Los Angeles and takes a cab to the apartment complex her Aunt Ruth lives in. There, she meets Coco (Ann Miller), the manager of the apartment complex. She takes Betty to her Aunt´s room (her aunt being away, she is letting Betty stay there). Once Coco leaves, Betty finds Rita hiding in there. Rita eventually tells Betty about her amnesia and the two try to figure out who she is. In another part of Los Angeles, a man named Adam Kesher, a film director, is being conned into hiring a specific actress for his new movie by a pair of brothers named Luigi and Vincenzo Castigliane (apparently mafia types). He refuses and returns home, to find his wife in bed with a cleaner. The cleaner beats Adam up, and Adam goes to stay at a hotel. When he´s there, he finds the the Castigliane brothers have evaporated all his money resources, and he has only enough for one night.
