Plots(1)
Bertram Potts is a young grammarian who lives with a zany group of professors while compiling an encyclopedia. He is pulled out of his world of rigid wording when he decides to document modern slang. One night he meets a local burlesque dancer, Sugarpuss O'Shea, who agrees to enlighten the scholars. As she grows closer to the professors (especially Bertram), their lives are thrown for a loop when her mobster boyfriend shows up. (Miramax Films)
