Can the taxi drivers dispose of the dead body before the bent copper gets his revenge?
Will Louise outwit the town bike and sink her claws into the local hunk?
And just why won’t male stripper “Mr Excalibur” go all the way?

Once his friends see him belting out the notes, he feels sure it will spell the end to their shallow taunts. It might even help him win the hand of Celia, the female conductor he has been pursuing and is the first to be recruited for his showpiece.
As for the other major roles and the production, Adam brings in the pros. A troupe of sexy, young singers with enough collective sexual tension to literally light up the stage.
