Synopsis

The antics at the Wicksteed home are a satirical merry-go-round.

Family, friends and the sexual satisfaction of the "corpus" (body) are the ruling passions in this farcical comedy of ill-manners.

Through a dance of mistaken identities and carnal encounters, one motto holds fast: "He whose lust lasts, lasts longest."

"A parade of wit."

- The New York Times "A marvelous freaky farce...rowdy and ribald."

- NBC
