Marsellus Wallace Captured
The king of crime falls into a trap, but the rescue comes from an unexpected source.
The film's plot involves Butch Coolidge double-crossing Marsellus by winning his boxing match. Later, while returning to his motel, Butch sees Marsellus crossing the road. Marsellus chases Butch into a pawnshop, where the shop owner, Maynard, captures them both at gunpoint and gags them in the basement. Maynard and his accomplice, Zed, then take Marsellus into another room and rape him. Butch breaks free, kills Maynard with a katana, and frees Marsellus, who then incapacitates Zed. Marsellus instructs Butch to tell no one about the incident and leave Los Angeles forever.
