Once the band of rebels seize power, their leader does crazy, and they replace him with Mellish, thinking he can save the country.

Allen rises to the occasion with several hysterical vignettes that probe sexuality's stickiest issues!

Jack Barry gives fetishism 20 question on a wacky TV show called "What's My Perversion?" sex-research goes under the microscope when a mad scientist (John Carradine) unleashes a monstrous, marauding breast. And the absurdity comes to a frenzied climax with Tony Randall, Burt Reynolds and Allen as sperm...having second thoughts about ejaculation!
