This colorful characterization begins a strangely sexual film about a successful corporate raid, or hostile takeover, in which a firm or financier acquires control of a company through shareholder manipulation or a "leveraged buyout" (raising debt to finance the acquisition), often to individually sell off its assets for profit (known as "asset stripping").

DEFINE: Explains hostile takeover, leveraged buyout, and asset stripping in one compact passage.
