...tells the story of 19-year-old Bernard Chanticleer, son of the curator of pornography at the New York Public Library. In a hurry to achieve manhood in the approved way, young Bernard must choose between the love-sick squarehead who works with him and a sadistic nymphomaniac go-go dancer who doubles as a non-speaking actress in an off-Broadway play.
