[edit] Plot summary

April Delongpre (Sherilyn Fenn) is the well-born daughter of a powerful senator and heiress to an old and respectable Southern family. April is engaged to marry the granite-handsome Chad Douglas Fairchild (Martin Hewitt) within a few days. But Chad has gone to Tuscaloosa to sign papers for their condo and the rest of the family has headed off to the lake, leaving April alone in the house with nothing to do except take long languid showers and rest; until she sets her eyes on the pecs of carnival roustabout Perry Tyson (Richard Tyson).

Soon the two are making tasteful love in every nook and cranny of April's mansion and at a local motel. Unfortunately for the two sexual athletes, April's grandmother Belle Delongpre (Louise Fletcher) has assigned the local sheriff Earl Hawkins (Burl Ives) to keep an eye on her. On the day of April's wedding, Belle and the sheriff quietly conspire to get rid of Perry. Perry escapes, and April, now wearing a wedding band, finds him and they kiss.

This is also one of the few films that feature an "R" rating and has full frontal female and male nudity, along with softcore sex scenes.
