Debbie Benton is the captain of her high school's cheerleading squad and has been accepted to try out for the "Texas Cowgirls." However, her parents disagree and refuse to pay for her trip, so in an attempt to help Debbie, her classmates decide to go with her to Texas. But first, they must raise the necessary money, which requires two weeks of intensive work in various temporary and hourly positions. The girls soon realize just how much men will pay a fortune to touch a schoolgirl's flesh.
The film's atmosphere is disarmingly sweet, and as close to completely wholesome as adult films can get. The plot is very basic, consisting of "dumb" schoolgirls willing to use their natural charms to raise funds, but the infectious enthusiasm of its cast of chocolates exudes the essence of certified carnal superstars. The protagonist, Bambi Woods, who only made this film and two sequels, disappeared unexpectedly in 1986, and nothing has ever been heard from her since, dragging along the myth of a sordid fate perhaps related to drugs.
