Nylon
The story of a professional photographer, relating how his overwhelming desire for sex and nylons causes him to lose his girl and livelihood. Told as a series of vivid erotic flashbacks, the tortured fetishist tells his story confessionally to us (the viewer) in a smoky bar, where coincidently, a ravishing nyloned and spandex clothed lady, teases and torments him as he confides in us. Ends with a clever plot twist.
