Cry-Baby -- Wade 'Cry-Baby' Walker (Depp) is the coolest, toughest hood in his Baltimore high school. His ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild, especially Allison Vernon-Williams (Amy Locane). A beautiful, rich 'square', Allison finds herself drawn into the world of Cry-Baby and his 'drape' pals. Soon she finds herself eagerly inhaling the evil influences of rockabilly music and fast cars.

Celebrated madam and advice columnist Xaviera Hollander (Joey Heatherton) is called to testify as a hostile witness in a senate hearing/crusade against loose morals. It seems that the Senators are about to be implicated into a widespread sex scandal regarding a hooker friend of Xaviera's, who has conveniently disappeared. Their plan to use her well-publicized sexual exploits to make her a scapegoat backfires when her irreverent testimony charges the otherwise lifeless proceedings. Before the end of the hearings, an undercover CIA agent convinces her to serve her country by seducing an important Arab oil sheik, where she discovers her friend in the harem. Upon her return, she discredits the Senate sub-committee and exposes them as perverts and white slavers, making America safe for erotic sex workers.

Johnny Depp heads up a super cool cast as the irresistible bad boy whose amazing ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild - especially Allison Vernon Williams (Amy Locane), a rich, beautiful "square" who finds herself uncontrollably drawn to the dreamy juvenile delinquent and his forbidden world of rockabilly music, fast cars and faster women. It's the hysterical high-throttle world of 1954 in director John Waters' outrageous musical comedy.
