Miss Mona’s cosy bordello in Texas is doing a roaring trade. Governors, senators, mayors and victorious college football teams all pass through its doors until a crusading television watchdog eyes the whorehouse as his next moral target.

Based on Larry L King’s 1974 Playboy magazine article about the closing of the Lone Star State’s Chicken Ranch, this is a satirical musical play about moral hypocrisy and media sensationalism, small-town vice and state-wide political sidestepping.
