This type of film would have seemed daring in that era, for it’s revealing and celebratory nature, and it was likely screened only in front of select audiences. The short opens with Looney Toons music and then shows various clips from Hollywood feature films that, like the title of the film, are full of double entendre. It includes a segment from a Little Rascals short, a performance by Glen Campbell (who ironically was a well-known homophobe), and a segment from a Gene Autry singing cowboy western, as well as a Jerry Lewis bit with Jerry in drag.
