It was during the auditions for this show that history was made. A young actor whose biggest show to date had been Hair tried out for a part in Jim's new show. His name was Meat Loaf. After hearing him sing a song from his album Stoney & Meatloaf called I Wish I Were As Heavy As Jesus they were so impressed that they gave him the script and asked him to tell them which character he would like to play. He surprised them all by picking Rabbit, a not too bright soldier who believed he was helping send his fellow commrades home by blowing them up with hand grenades and other ammo. The show also starred Stephen "7th Heaven" Collins from The Dream Engine, Fred "Herman Munster" Gwynne, and two actors who later went on to star in the Roxy Cast version of The Rocky Horror Show with Meat Loaf... Graham Jarvis, and Kim Milford.

The story is set in Vietnam during the war in a non-combat camp run by Fred Gwynne who is impotent and who falls in love with a report sent to cover the camp who turns out to be a nymphomaniac when she is gang raped by the other soldiers in the camp. However she realizes at the end that she will be even happier giving up her new found lust for sex to settle down with the impotent commander.
