The cast features a drag queen whose boss is a woman playing a man who is continuously aroused. This drag queen is essentially the secretary of her king, a woman playing a man who has the body of a woman, insuring that the penis of the king (a wrestler) is up and running at appropriate moments. One hysterical sequence involves the drag queen (who puts most formal-goers to shame with her swanky leggy machinations on stage) requesting that the town...
