Lonnie is vicious but lacks the vision to be a sensation.

Wanning fame motivates him to crash the Miss America Pageant disguised as Miss Wyoming to kill Miss America on camera.
Falling in love with her leads to his downfall: being fried in the electric chair during a jazzy prime time production number.
