...plot from a popular romance by a minor Belgian writer named Georges Rodenbach. Korngold knew an unusual story when he saw it. The hero, Paul (Tenor John Alexander), lives sorrowfully in Bruges, with the memory of his dead wife Marie, her portrait and a long switch of her hair. Into his life comes Marietta, a saucy dancer who resembles Marie. In a long dream sequence, Paul woos Marietta. But when she teases him about the dead woman's hold on him, he strangles her with Marie's hair. He awakens cleansed of his obsession, free to leave...

...deadly accuracy, George tucks his electric hairdryer into his belt as he jumps on his motorcycle on the way to a home appointment. Like the avenues of another decadent empire, all of the loads in Shampoo's Los Angeles lead to George's beauty salon, where George sets the hair of beautiful women and then takes them home to bed. Moving between salon and bedroom, comb and penis, shampoo and sperm, George is the denizen of a bizarre world whose plastic kaleidoscopic glitter Beatty exploits in his farcical look into the sex scene of the L.A. beautiful people...
