The Story:
In the heart of Indiana’s sprawling cornfields lies Naked City, a daring nudist resort ruled by the indomitable Dick Drost [Dick Drost], a wheelchair-bound visionary with muscular dystrophy who dreams of blending the suave allure of James Bond with the hedonistic empire of Hugh Hefner; each summer, he hosts the electrifying Miss Nude America pageant, drawing 50 ambitious contestants—many seasoned strippers eyeing their big break—to bare it all in a quest for the ultimate title of beauty.
Behind the glamour, tensions simmer as Drost grapples with his resort’s precarious finances and personal health battles, while the candidates navigate the rigors of preparation—from parading with ethereal white balloons to facing a panel of judges led by adult film icon Harry Reems [Harry Reems]—all under the watchful eyes of frenzied, camera-wielding spectators, highlighting the stark irony of clothed, middle-class men ogling the unclad ideals of American allure.
This Felliniesque odyssey into quintessential Americana culminates in the triumphant crowning of a winner like the radiant Lori Wagner [Lori Wagner], accompanied by the pulsating rhythms of the nude band Rainbow [Rainbow], leaving local townsfolk to grudgingly embrace the spectacle’s audacious spirit in a whirlwind of satire, sensuality, and unfiltered human ambition.
