Synopsis:

Here is Henry Fielding's rollicking, bawdy tale brought to lusty life on the screen. Joseph Andrews is a young servant of mysterious parentage. he is in the employ of the marvelously voluptuous Lady Booby, who lists for his handsome young body. Joseph, however, is incorruptably moral, and so remains faithful to Fanny, his winsome fiancee. Fanny, like Joseph, possesses uncommon beauty. Men lust for her and on serveral occasions she nearly falls victim to their darker impulses. but with the help of an amiable parson and a knowledgable peddler, Fanny and Joseph avoid most of the pitfalls that would keep them apart. in a series of hilarious misadventures, Joseph eludes Lady Booby's fevered advances and maintains his chastity. And, following several wildly improbable though thoroughly amusing twists of plot, Fanny and joseph are reunited. In addition, the problem of Joseph's parentage is solved - Lady Booby is Joseph's mother!
