Suburban housewife Francine Fishpaw (Divine) has a life from hell - her son is a glue-sniffing foot fetishist, her daughter is a tramp and her slobbish husband owns a porno cinema. When he leaves her for his sleazy secretary (Mink Stole), Francine hits the bottle - until happiness seems to beckon in the form of hunky Todd Tomorrow (Tab Hunter). John Waters spoofs the suburban melodrama in his first mainstream film. (Entertainment in Video)
