What happens

Forever, Lulu (also known as Crazy Streets) is a 1987 West German-American comedy-mystery film directed by Amos Kollek, and starring Hanna Schygulla, Deborah Harry, Wayne Knight and Alec Baldwin in his film debut. The film features sex therapist Ruth Westheimer. It was the final film starring Beatrice Pons and R. L. Ryan. In the film, a German woman works as a secretary in New York City, while trying to publish her novel. Within a few days, she is fired from her job, her manuscript is rejected, and she has a disastrous blind date. She has a mental breakdown and randomly waves a gun in the air. She is mistaken for a mugger, and a couple hands over their coats to her. The coats contain a signed photograph of a recent female acquaintance of the writer, and the writer unwittingly gets involved in a criminal case connected to this mystery woman.
