A lighthearted 1970s sexploitation comedy built on a absurd premise and played for broad laughs rather than genuine eroticism or narrative depth.

A group of cheerleaders from the local high school decide to show their school spirit for their football team by sleeping with the opponents the night before the game so that they can be so worn out the opposition won't be able to play.
