A suburban homemaker's world falls apart when she finds that her pornographer husband is serially unfaithful to her, her daughter is pregnant, and her son is suspected of being the foot-fetishist who's been breaking local women's feet.

Francine Fishpaw is an upper-middle-class suburban homemaker in Baltimore. Unfortunately, the money to support her lifestyle comes from her husband's porno theater, the neighbors are protesting, her son is a "stomper", her daughter is knocked up by a local hoodlum, and her husband is having an affair.—Stephen J.

Abused, neglected, and--above all--bullied in her own home, unhappy Baltimore homemaker with a heart of gold and an acute sense of smell Francine Fishpaw watches her already-derailed life take a turn for the worse. To further complicate matters, without a shred of shame, Elmer--Francine's sleazy husband and owner of the local X-rated theatre--is leaving her for another woman, her disdainful daughter Lu-Lu is pregnant by her delinquent boyfriend, and her glue-sniffing son Dexter is becoming a vicious foot fetishist. Then, out of the blue, suave blond charmer Todd Tomorrow enters the picture, and for once in her life, Francine feels loved. Is there a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow?—Nick Riganas

Shown in cinemas with the new technology "Odorama" to highlight the strong olfactory powers of our heroine, suburban Baltimore 300-pound homemaker Francine Fishpaw, who considers herself a good Christian and is trying--unsuccessfully--to keep her family together. She is detached from her two teenage children who do not confide in either of their parents. Older Lu-Lu, a proverbial sexpot, has continued to see her deadbeat boyfriend, their next door neighbor Bo-Bo Belsinger, against the dictate of her parents. With a female foot fetish, younger Dexter, without yet being identified or caught, has been carrying out high-profile crimes associated with his emotional disturbance. Francine's consumerism-focused mother, La Rue, takes advantage of her by stealing from her. But what's worst for Francine is her relationship with husband Elmer, who largely neglects her. Beyond being associated with his X-rated movie theater, which he publicizes in any manner he can, Francine has evidence that he is cheating on her, most likely with his secretary, Sandra Sullivan. For solace, Francine turns to her only two friends: the bottle and her simple-minded former housekeeper-turned-socialite-through-inheritance Cuddles Kovinsky. Francine's life seems to take a turn for the better upon meeting and mutually falling in love with a man named Todd Tomorrow. Can there be a happily-ever-after for Francine dependent upon Todd in her life?—Huggo

Francine Fishpaw is an average homemaker living in a suburban house with her family. There is just one problem: her family. Her husband Elmer runs a porno theater; this starts anti-porn pickets in front of their house. Her daughter Lu-Lu is very spoiled, and her son Dexter does drugs and has a foot fetish. Even her own mom doesn't care for her. Her only friend is Cuddles. Life goes sadder for Francine. She finds out that Elmer is having an affair, Lu-Lu becomes pregnant, and Francine starts to become an alcoholic. But sooner Francine befriends and falls in love with Todd Tomorrow.—Josh R.S. Lech
