The film concerns three teenage boys, Benji (Benzi), Bobby (Momo), and Huey (Yudale). Benji falls in love with Tammy in a party. He tries to make love with her but she leaves the party. When Benji gets drunk and Huey's girlfriend, Martha, tries to sleep with him, he rebuffs her. He keeps his distance with Tammy, hoping she would be the one to apologize. Eventually, he gives up and makes up to her with the help of his friend, Huey. However, their relationship suffers when Bobby accuses Benji of cheating on his girlfriend, Tammy, with Martha. To Benji's dismay, Tammy shows up on prom with Bobby and learns that Tammy and Bobby were "screwing". He decides to leave the town with Shelly but stops when Huey tells the lie he made up about Tammy and Bobby and discovers it was him that Tammy truly loved.
From contemporary reviews, Martyn Auty of The Monthly Film Bulletin declared that the film was "More offensive than its predecessor Lemon Popsicle " as it took "the opportunity to abuse women in both script and shooting with a sexism unknown to routine soft-porn. The same misogyny extends to the portrait of Benji's 'typical' Jewish mother." [1]
