Synopsis
A struggling manager visits a hayseed town and discovers a new dance craze, "the Twist" and hopes to turn it into an overnight nationwide sensation.
Twist Around the Clock only cost $250,000 to make, but in less than six months it grossed six million - so of course I'm gonna make more 'Twist' movies !

gollark: SaaS-type platforms like this generally don't have plugins or extensibility much.
gollark: Besides, this way I can add random features nobody else would ever need! DokuWiki has plugin support, and I needed that one time.
