The true story of John Romulus Brinkley, a small-town Kansas physician who discovers in 1917 that he can remedy impotence by transplanting goat testicles into males. And that’s simply the tipping level on this stranger-than-fiction story. With the balls of a P.T. Barnum, the gonads of goats, and the wishful goals of flaccid males, Brinkley amassed a fortune, was virtually elected Governor of Kansas, invented spam and the infomercial, and constructed the world’s strongest radio station. By the point all the twists and turns of Brinkley’s story are revealed, Nuts! definitely earns its title.
