In this imaginary world of neo-and actual Nazis, and a softcore porn legend turned Nazi sex icon, reality gets tossed on its head.

Eckville’s shame! You may recall the Byzantine legal events which led to last season’s cancellation of this meditation on the theme of intolerance. Never one to fear the absurd, OYR once again courts injustice by reuniting Ilsa with her Kommandant and the near-mythic James Keegstra. Sit back and enjoy as this unlikely song and dance trio goose-steps its way into your heart, Half price for all on-duty undercover police.
