Doreen and Dan (I guess their last names are "Cautious?" seem to live in one sleazebucket of a town since they've got strangers approaching them all. the. time. In cars, in houses, and yes, apparently in sheds! In the movies it's no different as a stranger sits between them in an otherwise empty theatre (no explanation about why they chose to sit between the guy). All accompanied by YES! Organ music! This is one lulu of a film and is a MUST SEE on this site!

This is one quirky little film. The narrator talks in rhyme, and the whole thing is set to organ music. There are "approved" places to go, and places where Doreen and Dan are not supposed to be, such as the alley. Everywhere they go, Doreen and Dan are accosted by strange characters. And the entire place, other than the off-limits areas, is thoroughly sanitized for everyone's protection. I think I've figured out where Doreen and Dan live: Disneyland. Right? Seriously, think about it. As a side note, what is going on with Doreen's skirt? It looks like a half-inflated inner tube.
