There's a new tenant at Armadillo Acres and she's wreaking havoc all over Florida's most exclusive trailer park. When Pippi, the stripper on the run, comes between an agoraphobic housewife, Jeannie, and her toll collector husband, the "Storm's A-Brewin'" and it ain't your run-of-the-mill hurricane. Don't miss this campy, caustic musical fable that has everything from strippers to Costco.
