On le voit ensuite, en manteau de cuir, aller dans des toilettes où des hommes guettent le passage d'autres hommes en se masturbant.

Ce dernier sort, un autre homme prend sa place et introduit son sexe dans le glory hole.

États-Unis, années 40. Dans une étonnante propriété se côtoient quantité d’hommes (presque) nus qui batifolent autour de la piscine. Ce décor, c’est celui dans lequel évolue Bob Mizer, fondateur de « The Athletic Model Guild », un magazine de photos où les hommes posent nus ou presque. Jack Lalane, Joe Dallessandro et Wayne Stanley, anciens modèles de Mizer, témoignent chacun à leur manière de leur expérience. Pour la plupart d’entre eux, Bob Mizer dotait la jeunesse américaine d’un bréviaire de la forme et de la santé sans aucune intention homoérotique. Des procès furent pourtant engagés et une chasse aux sorcières organisée contre ces photographes jugés scandaleux. Mêlant allégrement documents d’archives et scènes de fiction délirantes, ce documentaire est à la fois l’histoire d’un homme et celle d’une époque.

The film begins with a narrator, called The Scientist, making cryptic comments about humanity. He first comments that humanity's constant search for the unknown, results in startling things coming to light. But most of these "new" discoveries are actually quite old, to which he refers to as "the signs of the ages". Later, the scene turns to the streets of a city, with the narrator commenting that each human has his/her own thoughts, ideas, and personality. He makes further comments on human life, while sounds accompany some comments. The cries of a newborn baby are followed by the sirens of an ambulance. One is a sign that a new life has begun, the other that a life has ended.

Le film montre comment le cinéma hollywoodien a évoqué le thème de l’homosexualité, comment cette représentation a évolué au fil des ans et comment, en retour, elle a influencé la perception de l’homosexualité par le grand public.
