Plot of this very funny movie:
When two musicians witness a mob hit, they flee the state in an all female band disguised as women, but further complications set in.


a few movie quotes:

Sugar: Real diamonds! They must be worth their weight in gold!

Sugar: Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.

Joe: [referring to Jerry] He has an empty stomach and it's gone to his head.

Jerry: Will you look at that! Look how she moves! It's like Jell-O on springs. Must have some sort of built-in motor or something.

Sugar: Water polo? Isn't that terribly dangerous?
Junior: I'll say. I had two ponies drowned under me.
