Gentlemen's Relish plot
Kingdom Swan, a flamboyant painter, after a stranded career, plunges completely into photography. He believes that his photos should not become annoying snapshots but lush works of art. His photo sessions quickly turn into lavish dressing up. Until his crafty assistant Marsh gives him the idea of taking classic subjects. Swan begins to photograph society as naked Aphrodites. Marsh secretly sells the photos to an obscure magazine that specializes in nude photos, the Gentleman's Relish. Things are going well until Marsh's double play is discovered, just as Swan is working on his biggest project: Cleopatra's funeral, with hundreds of half-naked slaves and maidservants.
