In 1970, Shelly Baumann, a young and eccentric stripper, suffers a devastating injury when a cannon explodes during a parade. Receiving a settlement, she courageously decides to open ‘Shelly’s Leg,’ a pioneering disco. This unique space becomes one of the first and most influential openly gay venues in the nation, providing a vital community hub and a platform for self-expression during a transformative era.
