Storyline:Upstairs in the bedroom/sitting room, Maggie tells a cooly-detached Brick that she is sickened by her brother-in-law""s children and her sister-in-law""s perpetual fertility:One of those no-neck monsters hit me with some ice cream.His nightly memories are of a real event in Manchuria that have been distorted by the psychological programming.Perspiring, Wally looks petrified with fear and desperately wonders what to do next.He approaches the telephone, identified in close-up - as he reaches for it, it begins ringing.Wally disconnects the cord, and then rushes into another area of the house to try another door.Finding all the doors and exits locked, he breaks out the window panes of one door with a chair and kicks his way through to an outside porch, cutting himself in the process.He also cautioned: "Do not shoot my Raptors." The four Raptors were Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Blue - "the beta," and Owen was their "alpha" leader.The ribald film is a clever combination of many elements: a spoof of 1920-30""s gangster films with period costumes and speakeasies, and romance in a quasi-screwball comedy with one central joke - entangled and deceptive identities, reversed sex roles and cross-dressing.
