Three young men—a scriptwriter, a producer and a director—are summoned by eccentric producer Benny U. Murdoch to make an erotic film starring a large woman called “Eskimo Nell.” The scriptwriter is a virgin penguin‑lover with no idea how to write erotica. Each backer demands a different genre—western, erotic or kung‑fu—so the trio must shoot three separate versions after Benny flees with the money, all while a moral‑obsessed cleanup‑filth society watches their every move.
