Storyline:

This film looks at the 1950’s muscle men’s magazines and the representative industry that were popular supposedly as health and fitness magazines, but were in reality primarily being purchased by the still underground homosexual community.

Clips of Mizer’s actual films starring individuals, such as Jack LaLanne and Joe Dallesandro, are included.
