When the pilot, Jennifer has to choose between his secret love for Louis, the hot-bloodedly bisexual navigator and Andy, the rear gunner, who, though quite assertive with girls, tends to take the submissive role in his relationships with men. And sensational Mexican starlet Rosetta Nixon plays the head of Bomber Command, whose passion for sea-birds ends in tragedy. With Ginger as the half-man, half-woman parrot whose unnatural instincts brought forbidden love in the aviary. And Roger as Pip, the half-parrot, half-man, half-woman, three-quarter badger, ex-bigamist Negro preacher, for whom banjo-playing was very difficult, and he never mastered it although he took several courses and went to Banjo College… er… and everything… don’t miss it! ---

_Nobody_ expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise… surprise and fear… fear and surprise… our two weapons are fear and surprise… and ruthless efficiency… Our _three_ weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency… and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
