Introduction

Champagne is one of San Francisco’s most notorious dancers. When she’s framed for her recent hubby’s death, she must outwit sinister businesswomen, incompetent detectives and sadistic prison guards. Starring a host of famous San Fran faces, Lady Champagne is the perfect queer counterpart to comedies like Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
