Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his strange and bizarre entourage are having a party at their castle, which Brad Majors and Janet Weiss happen to stumble upon while driving home one rainy night.

By morning, Frank has both Brad and Janet in his bed. By night’s end, Dr. Everett Von Scott has arrived in search of his nephew Eddie (whom Frank killed earlier in this film). This is a visually and musically stunning spoof of classic B-movie horror and sci-fi films from the golden era. This will be a night that Brad and Janet will remember for a long time in the sexually kinky, rock ‘n roll, rock-opera world of a gender-bending scientist and his time warped plans, with a soundtrack that gives audience participation a new meaning in dimension, time, and space.
