A drama-documentary marketed at the 'raincoat brigade', but at the same time designed to pass on information about venereal disease.
The film featured clinical case studies, sex health instruction, and comic sketches illustrating VD. For example, Gonorrhoea (Peter Reynolds) and Syphilis (Michael Laurence) - positioned inside the intestines of their next victim - swap drunken reminiscences about the good times they had during the second world war, and drink to the health of the Pill, which has ridded them of their greatest enemy, the Condom.
Reynolds also appears as Henry VIII, undergoing a cure for syphilis that's worse than the disease, with Laurence as his doctor.
There are interviews with various people, including actor Roger Ward, stunt man Grant Page, and singer Billy Thorpe and his band the Aztecs, as Thorpe reminisces about encounters with VD on the road.
The documentary aspects had to contend with scenes that included an opening strip and nude love-making, a wild party, a rock n' roll concert, and the reconstruction of a violent attack on Naples (symbolised by Kyral castle outside Ballarat in Victoria) by the soldiers of Charles VIII of France.
