Eventually, he ends up wh only one iend: Hermie (short for "Herm, " aka "Eros, " aka the God of Love) a mcg elf who uldn't be gayer if played by Pl Lyn after a three-way wh Charl Nelson Riley and Liberace. Yon and his two young male iends end up on an island surround by a fiery glow (Fire Island was a popular gay muny the 60s).
