It was John Waters' first film production to be shot on 16mm film; his prior films were shot on 8mm stock.
The film has never been shown commercially, or released on home video. However, since 2004 it has been screened occasionally as part of various John Waters touring art exhibitions.
A deranged nanny (Maelcum Soul) kidnaps young girls and forces them to model themselves to death in front of her boyfriend (David Lochary) and their crazed friends. One of the spectators (Divine) fantasizes that he is Jackie Kennedy, and relives the JFK assassination in his mind.
