Each one takes a trip to PORKY’S, it’s the most popular strip joint in Florida. But when they try to get in, they’re tricked and humiliated. Returning home, they vow revenge. Following crazy sex jokes like Ms. Balbrick’s famous “Pecker Pull” incident, to the ultimate return fire on a strip club, PORKY’S is and will remain the grandest of all teenage comedies.
