Errol Morris at his captivating best with this surreal tale of Joyce McKinney, the former Miss Wyoming who reigned as Tabloid Queen in the British press.

Thirty years before Paris Hilton or Britney Spears, Joyce McKinney reigned as Tabloid Queen in the British press with ‘The Case of the Manacled Mormon’. The former Miss Wyoming was accused of kidnapping a young Mormon missionary in a jaw-dropping crusade for love and personal satisfaction.

McKinney’s surreal tale is one of gunpoint abductions, bondage, and magic underwear – rich pickings for Errol Morris, who is back at his captivating best.
