What happens

Debbie Does Dallas is a 1978 American pornographic film written, produced and directed by David Buckley (under the pseudonym Jim Clark), and starring Bambi Woods. The plot focuses on a team of cheerleaders attempting to earn enough money to send the title character to Dallas, Texas, to try out for the famous Texas Cowgirls cheerleading squad. The fictional name "Texas Cowgirls" was seen as an allusion to the real-life Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Woods had previously tried out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in real life, but she was cut during auditions. The film was highly successful, selling 50,000 copies on videotape, making it the most successful pornographic video release of its time. It is regarded as one of the most important releases during the so-called Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984), and became one of the best-known pornographic films of the 1980s. The film is in the public domain following a US court ruling in 1987 that declared its copyright to be lost. The enormous success spawned a number of sequels and spin-offs, and a 2002 off-Broadway musical of the same name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
