Adult film historian Jim Holliday narrates this collection of clips from films from porn's "golden ages" featuring dozens of stars.

It's difficult to remember what porn was like in the 70s. In this era when pornstars are on TV, date movie stars, and are on album covers, the secret world of men in raincoats attending sleazy theaters is hard to imagine. Now most people see porn on their TV or internet. Once upon a time, though, it was a big deal for a porn star to hit the mainstream, and John Holmes did just that. With a 14 inch endowment and not so good looks, Holmes made thousands of movies and slept with thousands of women. He became well-known for his Johnny Wadd series, where he was an international man of mystery, and hardcore sex. Eventually he got heavily into drugs, got involved in a brutal murder, and finally died of AIDS.

Georgina Spelvin plays Madeline Stone, a woman whose husband passes away during the opening sex scene. Discovering she is not as well off as she thought, she decides to get her daughters (Annette Haven and Clair Dia) out of school to marry them off to rich husbands.

Laura and her girlfriend Gilda are at Laura's playing Monopoly when Laura's dad comes home from work. Gilda finds herself attracted to him, and since the feeling is mutual, they get together. Later, when a repairman arrives at the house to do some work, Laura and Gilda come up with a job for him he wasn't counting on.

As Penny and Linda find themselves besieged by a never-ending supply of perverts, weirdos, and other types of misfits they decide it's time to take matters into their own hands to return their lives to idyllic suburban bliss.
