Synopsis: This documentary chronicles of the rise and fall of the legendary San Francisco theatrical troupe, The Cockettes. As the psychedelic San Francisco of the '60s began evolving into the gay San Francisco of the '70s, The Cockettes, a flamboyant ensemble of hippies (women, gay men and babies), decked themselves out in gender-bending drag and glitter for a series of legendary midnight musicals at the Palace Theater. Combining grand spectacle with the awkwardness of a high school operetta production, The Cockettes thrilled audiences as much with their unpredictability as with their triumphs.
