Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer play sexy Tri-Delta sorority pledges who are constantly being followed and spied on by three nerdy frat boys. In particular, they are watched during a long, erotic shower sequence as well as a secret hazing ritual where the girls receive a humiliating spanking with a sorority paddle. This proved to be one of the best spanking scenes in mainstream film and helped the film to become a cult favorite.[citation needed]
