[box] Michele Casey: Leo says I’m really going places. Just because he deals in dope, that doesn’t tarnish me.

Critter: Oh, that’s what you think, baby. Tarnish isn’t a strong enough word for what he’ll do to you. Try “corrode” for size.[/box]

Michelle has big dreams, dreams of being a go-go dancer.  She leaves her drab job slinging hash in a diner for the bright lights of L.A.  She is accompanied by a couple of deadbeats who both lust after her.  Despite the fact that she can’t really dance, her gorgeous body ensures instant stardom.

The plot is accompanied by several dreadful musical numbers and songs.  There is some amusing stuff here, but IMO not amusing enough to go out of your way to seek out the movie.  That is unless you are a connoisseur of scantily clad women, which this movie has  in abundance.  Seems to have been made for, and got, the MST3K treatment.
