A mother lives in a trailer in the woods with her daughters Emily (ravishing redhead Clair Dia) and Kandi (comely brunette Kandi Johnson). After Emily and Kandi are abducted by a nefarious gang of pirates who reside in an empty swimming pool, the mother must embark on a perilous journey into the dangerous forest in order to save them. The mother has bizarre encounters with singing transvestites, a lesbian gang, a sect of homosexual monks, and a helpful dwarf named Derek while trying to find her daughters.
Director Alex de Renzy brings a gloriously loopy "anything goes" irreverent and experimental sensibility to the merrily madcap proceedings, which despite all the varied explicit sex -- gay and straight couplings alike -- and abundant nudity always registers as amusing and inoffensive thanks to the infectiously breezy'n'easy tone. The eclectic soundtrack encompasses everything from thudding prog-rock to "Also Sprach Zarathustra." The sunny cinematography and lovely sylvan locations give this picture a pleasingly bright and natural look. Tyler Reynolds delivers a deliciously hammy portrayal of the pirate leader while Dale Meader has a raunchy ball as a dirty old priest. Sure, this one's extremely silly and ridiculous, but it nonetheless still possesses a genuinely quirky and becoming "only in the early 70's" flipped-out hippie period charm that's impossible to either resist or dislike.
