The film is available from Something Weird Video. Their notes: "Classic burlesque filmed at the New Follies Theatre in Los Angeles and starring legendary striptease queen - classy EVELYN WEST! See Evelyn seductively unwrap herself from mink and maribou, exposing her $50,000 thousand dollar 'treasure chest' during two racy song and dance numbers! The fun and frolics continue with performances by some of the best in old time adult entertainment!"
