Pregnant porn star Elektra Luxx is trying to make a living teaching sex classes to housewives.

Chaos ensues as fiancés, private investigators, a twin sister and even the Virgin Mary force her to face up to an unexpected series of decisions and revelations in her life.

The film ends with the trailer for Elektra's farewell film, the Spaghetti Western spoof Even Reverse Cowgirls Get the Blues.
