From the VHS box:
Brad and Janet are in trouble again!
The people who brought us The Rocky Horror Picture Show are at it again. Brad and Janet are trapped in a town where all the world in one huge TV sound stage. The couple winds up on the bizarre game show, “Marriage Maze,” where Brad gets hauled off to the local booby hatch so he can learn “to care.” It’s all a plot by the show’s sleazy sponsor (also played by De Young) so he can have Janet all to himself.
This no-holds-barred spoof of TV and television audiences is garishly entertaining fun and frolic from beginning to end. So put on your little black dress and get set for kinky comedy and shocking suspense, without having to stand on line at midnight!
