Nick Broomfield and a documentary crew visit Pandora's Box, an up-scale house of bondage on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, where clients pay $175 an hour to be subservient to mistresses.

Then, the camera watches sessions organized around fetishes: rubber, wrestling, corporal punishment, masochism, and infantilism.
