Platinum blond bombshell Mary Vivian Pearce begins her day by riding the bus and reading Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon.

Bombshell is later seduced by a hippie degenerate "shrimper" (foot fetishist), who starts molesting her feet while she fantasizes about being Cinderella.

At the asylum, Divine is robbed of a cigarette and watches in disgust as topless tap dancer get sexually assaulted before Virgin Mary visits her again, this time giving her a hunting knife.

The Bombshell then travels across Baltimore with her bird feet, which leads to her being mooned by greasers in an alley and being repeatedly insulted by two snobs.

It is because of this, Waters says, that Mondo Trasho remains out of distribution, as the still-unsecured music rights would be too prohibitively expensive to clear.

In an interview with the Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on tour for his book release of Mr Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder (2019), Waters stated that Mondo Trasho would never get released again due to copyright issues with the music and that it would cost $1 million dollars just to secure rights for the music.
