Yet another Sick parody of a movie that wasn't particularly a big hit even then, and where they may not have seen the movie. Either that or they didn't take good notes.

Paxton Quigley (Christopher Jones) is a womanizing fraternity brother at Willard College, and settles down with Tobey Clinton (Yvette Mimieux), a student at nearby Fulton College, who he meets at a party.

On his way to meet Tobey, one day Paxton meets Eulice (Judy Pace) and begins an affair with her, and she paints him in the nude. He later meets Jan (Maggie Thrett), a Jewish hippie artist, in the woods and has an affair with her as well. She's also an artist who paints (on) him in the nude and he gets her to sleep with him by saying he's gay and she can cure him of his homosexuality (it was the sixties and I'm just the messenger).

”You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's” was a slogan from Levy's rye bread with ads that had photos of various known ethnic stereotypes eating sandwiches.

Paxton takes all the girls to a “no-tell” motel on different nights and works out a schedule with his fraternity brothers which nights he'll see which women.

The parents (Eve McVeigh, Richard Derr) are actually Tobey's and they appear at the beginning scolding her for shacking up with Paxton. There's nothing about him and the administration of his school.

When Paxton goes to meet Tobey up to her dorm, she takes him to the attic where the other two women are. They've met and found he's been seeing them all and lock him up in the attic to teach him a lesson.

There's a student in the dorm who reports suspicious goings-on there to the dean, who doesn't believe her. Later, when Paxton is reported missing, she puts the two things together. These things aren't included in the parody. Tobey and the women are brought to the that same dean of their school (who isn't Racquel Welch), who won't punish anyone and is willing to pretend this never happened because the school doesn't need the bad publicity. Nobody's parents are there.
