01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Overweight housewife Francine Fishpaw (Divine (performer)) watches her upper middle-class family's life crumble in their suburban Baltimore home. Her husband Elmer (David Samson) is a polyester-clad lout who owns an adult movie theater, causing anti-pornography protesters to picket the Fishpaws' house. Francine's Christian beliefs are also offended by the behavior of her children—Lu-Lu (Mary Garlington), her spoiled, promiscuous daughter, and Dexter (Ken King), her Juvenile delinquent, Inhalant abuse son who secretly derives pleasure from stomping on women's feet.
