Three strippers holding a young girl hostage come across a crippled old man living with his two sons in the desert. After learning he is hiding a sum of cash around, the strippers start scheming on him.
I am not as familiar with Russ Meyer as I should be. He is a legendary cult director, but I think I know him best for "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". This one, however, is his signature film. It is well-known and has been referenced extensively by others (apparently more bands than other filmmakers!).
You can judge it and say it is cheesy or kitsch, but that is what makes it a cult film. The cinematography is crisp and beautiful, and the overall plot is excellent -- sort of female empowerment meets the old western.
