An American bird smuggler gets into some trouble trying to sell a cockatoo, which ends up escaping and heading back to its home, the outback. The smuggler takes chase and ends up in some outback region, where he meets a somewhat not so shy maiden who ends up drugging and kidnapping him. He wakes up in Woop Woop, married and somewhat groggy. He finds himself to be in the centre of a bizarre and seemingly inescapable junkyard community, ruled by his new father in law, Daddy O. He eventually meets up with the school teacher sister of his wife and they work together to get out of the mess that they have found themselves in.

Where as Stefan Elliot's earlier and much more successful film Priscilla, Queen of the Desert contrasted serious issues such as discrimination and the place of family in the life of a transvestite with the lighter moments, I am not too sure I can say the same for this film. Elliot seems to be heading for a kind of evil, degenerative, no holds barred Carry On movie, that certainly lives up to its reputation of being occasionally unpleasant at best. If you enjoyed the Oscar winning costuming from Priscilla, there is more from the same bunch of people here, as outrageous as ever. However, if you are a big fan of Roger and Hammerstein movies such as South Pacific and The Sound of Music, you may be somewhat disturbed by their rather frequent use in this movie. They do however, add to the overall atmosphere of not quite rightness, and complement the host of eccentric characters and often unashamedly stupid and crude humour. If you are not at all put off by the presence of this in a movie, you will probably have a lot of fun with Woop Woop.
