See Papa Lazarou's Pandemonium Carnival rolling into town with his freak show. See Edward and Tubbs venture out of town on a mission to find a no-tail for their son David. Visit Lake Windemere B&B where proprietors Alvin and Sunny Steele offer special 'extras' to their 'swinging' guests. Meet Herr Lipp, the German exchange teacher with a penchant for boys. Plus, see the one and only Roy Chubby Brown in a cameo as the foul-mouthed Mayor Vaughn.
