On a bare stage, Betty Page performs two dances, after which comedians Dave Starr and Joe E. Ross tell jokes. Next is redhead Tempest Storm, who pretends to be awakening. Tempest, clad in her underwear, makes up her sleeper sofa, then, with the help of her maid, played by Betty, dons her stockings, corset, long gloves, an evening gown and a fur stole. After Tempest finishes, Dave and Joe present another comic routine in which Joe sells Dave a handkerchief that supposedly will attract women. Betty then brings out placards announcing Chris La Chris, who dances, and then Twinnie Wallen, who incorporates acrobatics into her routine. Vickie Lynn and another dancer participate in a comic sketch with Dave and Joe, who play their miserly husbands. Tempest then dances while removing her negligee and revealing her lingerie. After a partial striptease by Trudy Wayne, Vickie, a female impersonator, dances and strips off a long evening gown. Upon finishing, Vickie removes his bra and wig, revealing that he is a man. Betty brings out another placard for Cherry Knight, who uses a sofa as a prop to display her long legs during her partial striptease. Wearing two different showgirl costumes, Betty dances again, after which Trudy completes another partial striptease. The last number is performed by Tempest, who strips off the evening gown she was wearing ...
