 The film starts out with the first ever women's day at the glen, where wives and girlfriends of Zambezi members are invited to visit the glen ahead of the annual encampment, which also serves to introduce the glen and the characters to the audience.The actual retreat itself begins after the members have returned without any women and kicks off with the "Assassination of Time", based on the real "Cremation of Care" at the Bohemian Grove, with a pelican replacing the latter's owl.After that, the festivities begin, including an all-male chorus line in drag, which is photographed by one of the club employees who smuggles out the pictures to the news media.
