New Orleans, 1962. The main characters are a radio announcer at a reactionary station, his girlfriend, and a public servant who collects surveys about welfare recipients. The plot concerns a fraud with the intent of stripping people of their welfare benefits; there is also a conspiracy devised by the reactionaries who own the radio station.
This is a completely absurd film, which manages to offend both conservatives and liberals (or at least it should, if they have any self-respect). As a delirious self-parody, it is mildly amusing. Nuns in this film are praised for being great encouragers of individuals with an artistic inclination -- the exact opposite of what they were depicted as in The Lady in the Van.
