Pete DeCenzie, the owner of the El Rey burlesque theater, approached Russ Meyer to film Tempest Storm and other strippers dancing. Meyer spent three nights shooting, but they didn't have the budget to develop the footage. So, according to Meyer, DeCenzie sent a big-breasted French dancer named Suzy with the film to a local Kodak plant during the late shift where she offered to have sex with the developer on duty in return for processing the film. He happily took her up on her offer. Meyer then edited the processed footage together.
