the frank and fritzy show
EPISODE 4

Fritzy's been shopping, but we doubt he'd wear his new chapeau at the Triangle Social Club. After Frank makes himself presentable, Fritzy directs his buddy to Channel 5, where a mummy queen is looking very hot and very familiar -- and where the tsetse flies are biting. Turning to newspaper reports about a city crackdown on sex clubs like Plato's Retreat, Fritzy reminds Frank about the time they unwittingly almost took the plunge at one of New York's most notorious nightspots, the Mine Shaft. (7:06)
