The work mounts a bawdy, comic satire of prudish censorship by following a coquettish young woman called Cutie and the officious, self-righteous Herman Pupick, whose attempts to police sexual candor lead to farcical misunderstandings and moral hypocrisy. Interspersed with a prefatory polemic on obscenity and taste, the episodic narrative uses exaggerated caricature, punchy set pieces, and ribald humor to expose arbitrariness in moral policing while celebrating candid portrayals of desire.
