For the most part, "Puss 'n Boots" is a silly sex romp in which all the usual stereotypes are reversed as we follow a group of female army army privates. This is perhaps best exemplified right at the start when we watch the girls go to a bar to pick up men. One professional lady pleaser brags about all the different strokes he's mastered. These include: the Torpedo, the Pivot, the Rabbit, the Wallbanger, the Yellow Pages and the Flagpole. He'll do 'em all, but like any good prostitute, refuses to kiss. Back at the bar, a new recruit faces some competition from a biker chick over picking up a scrawny little man. This rivalry will fire up a nice little subplot over the course of the film.
All the horny privates get all excited whenever the local hunk Sgt. Matthews has a girl in his quarters. And they all gang up for a place at his window. Naturally there are several instances of women using force or pulling rank to dominate others, whether it is submitting a girl into lesbianism under the shower or ordering two male soldiers around. Meanwhile Pvt. Priscilla Mason (the Puss of the title) is the prototype 'Mahoney' character who just wants to get out of the army and begins acting crazy in front of a mirror (actually quoting everything from Sunset Blvd. to The Exorcist).
The plot becomes a bit more muddled as the girls throw a big casino/sex party to raise money for a lawyer for April, which they end up not needing after all. So a couple of them decide to take revenge on she who wronged April themselves in a somewhat uncomfortable sequence that rounds out the film. Depending on how much the viewer is into bondage and submission, this last part of the film might not be up everybody's alley (so to speak).
