What it’s about: Babs Johnson (Divine) defends her title of "the filthiest person alive" when her reign is threatened by black market baby dealers Raymond and Connie Marble (David Lochary and Mink Stole).
When you’ll gag: When Crackers (Danny Mills) puts a live chicken between himself and Cookie (Cookie Mueller) during sex, crushing the bird to death. Or when Babs picks up fresh dog poop and eats it in the film's climax.
