Summary Dream follies: The guys at the office keep sneaking over to the DREAM FOLLIES at the local burlesque theater and peeking in at all the sexy strippers when - Wait! Who's that! Why, it's none other than Lenny Bruce, unbilled in his first screen appearance (a year before Dance Hall Racket), doing the kind of burly-q shtick he'd soon abandon as he developed into the most controversial and influential comedian of the 1950s. Aiding and abetting Lenny throws are his wacky real-life mother Sally Marr (Lenny throws spaghetti in her face); strip star DEENAH PRINCE; STACY FARRELL as striptease secretary; and director Phil Tucker, forever immortalized as the man who made "Robot Monster"! Wow.--from Container.

Along for the bump and grind are Valetta ("The Toast of Two Continents"), Venus ("The Body") and Satalyte (who makes them orbit in front of our eyes). There's also rodeo-queen Dot Hackley, crazy contortionist Jacqueline Hurley, and a guy who makes music from bottles of booze.--from Container.
