Synopsis

A parody of over-the-top soap operas, Shadazzle follows the melodrama in the lives of a group of friends, centred on Florence Smith and her fiancé, Fred Flagglebush.[5] When Fred decides to hire a "vodka swilling cleaner,"[6] the couple's finances are stretch tighter than ever and Florence is forced to accept a job as an exotic dancer at a local club. She soon becomes the center of the unstable Trevor Shaw's unwanted affection, which ends in disaster when Trevor crashes the wedding.
