Plot: Called Prok as an adult (short for Professor Kinsey), 'Alfred Kinsey (I)' (qv) has been interested in biology since he was a child growing up in the early twentieth century, despite the criticisms of such being evil nonsense from his overbearing and devoutly Christian father, professor Alfred Seguine Kinsey. Prok goes on to become a biology professor at Indiana University, initially focusing on the study of gall wasps. But those studies in combination with questions from his students, coming to terms with the needs of sex with his own wife, a former student of his named Clara McMillen (who he calls Mac), and what he sees as the gross misinformation on the subject currently within popular belief makes him change his focus to human sexuality. Many of those gross untruths - as he sees them - are that oral sex and masturbation cause a slew of maladies, which are perpetuated by what is presented in the university's hygiene class taught by Professor Thurman Rice. With the approval of faculty head Herman Wells, Prok starts teaching his own wildly popular marriage course, talking about sex in a straightforwardly academic fashion. When he sees that morals don't necessarily mirror sexual behavior, he decides to conduct a massive sex survey with the assistance of students Wardell Pomeroy, Clyde Martin and Paul Gebhard. He faces the issue of the funding required for the survey and public and political response to this controversial and oft seen as taboo subject. But in conducting the survey, he and Mac also face the issue of their own sexuality in relationship to their marriage and the emotional and cultural aspects behind it, such as the notion of love.

Quotes:
[from trailer]::Clyde Martin: Sex is a risky game, because if you're not careful, it will cut you wide open.
[from trailer]::Alfred Kinsey: Love is the answer, isn't it? But, sex raises a lot of very interesting questions...
Clyde Martin: When did you first begin masturbating?::Old Woman: I INVENTED it, son.
Alfred Kinsey: [Kinsey is teaching his first class] Who can tell me which part of the human body can enlarge a hundred times. You, miss?::Female Student: [indignantly] I'm sure I don't know. And you've no right to ask me such a question in a mixed class.::Alfred Kinsey: [amused] I was referring to the pupil in your eye, young lady. [class laughs] And I think I should tell you, you're in for a terrible disappointment.
Clyde Martin: [re: sexuality chart] So what do you think you are now?::Alfred Kinsey: [nervously] Probably around a... 3::Clyde Martin: Have you ever done anything about it?::Alfred Kinsey: [shakes his head]::Clyde Martin: Would you like to?
Wardell Pomeroy: How old were you when you first engaged in sexual activity with a partner?::Research Subject: 14.::Wardell Pomeroy: How?::Research Subject: With horse.::Wardell Pomeroy: [pause] How often were you having intercourse with animals at age 14?::Research Subject: [stunned] It's true. I fucked a pony. You are genius, how did you know?::Wardell Pomeroy: You just said you had::[pause]::Wardell Pomeroy: sex with horse.::Research Subject: Nooo... Whores, not horse, *whores*.
Final Interview Subject: [to Kinsey about her lesbianism] After I read your book I realized how many other women were in the same situation. I mustered the courage to talk to my friend and she told me, to my suprise, that the feelings were mutual.
Effete Man in Gay Bar: [referring to Kinsey] Mary here says he's from the University of Indiana and she'd like to interview me about my "sex history".::Effete Man's Friend: Tell him to stick around and watch.
Clyde Martin: You know, this thing between Prok and me was fine for a while, but I guess I just really miss sleeping with women.::Alfred Kinsey: That's perfectly understandable. It's clear from your history you have a greater sexual interest in women than men.::Clyde Martin: Good. Then you wont mind if I ask Mac to have sex with me. Only if it appeals to you, of course.::Clara McMillen: Would it be separately or together?::Clyde Martin: Oh, no, definitely just you and I.::Clara McMillen: I think I might like that. What do you think, Prok?
Reporter: Any plans on a Hollywood picture based on the book?::Alfred Kinsey: I can't think of anything more pointless.

Plot: A mysterious Irishman, Finian, and his beautiful daughter Sharon, arrive one day in Rainbow Valley, a small Southern town of tobacco sharecroppers in the mythical state of Missitucky. The town has its own resident dreamer, Woody Mahoney, who thinks that he might be able to put the town on the map by crossing mint with tobacco so that it'll grow already mentholated. Finian's come to the town because he's stolen a leprechaun's crock of gold and plans to plant it in the ground so it'll grow faster (or else why would the Americans have rushed to dig the gold out of California only to plant it back in the ground at Fort Knox?). But trouble arrives in the form of Og the leprechaun, who has followed Finian to America and is bent on retrieving his gold. Meanwhile, the bigoted Senator Billboard Rawkins, in an effort to stop progress in his state in the form of a new dam and hydroelectric system, plans to take the remaining parcel of land needed to stop the project - Woody's, which Finian has purchased to save from the auctioneer's gavel. But then the government's geologists reveal to the Senator that gold has been detected on the property! Rawkins and his men confront the sharecroppers to seize their land using as an excuse an obscure law making it a felony for blacks and whites to live together, but when Sharon, outraged at this bigotry, cries out while standing right over the pot of gold, "I wish to God you were black ..." all hell breaks loose as wishes come true.
