Hag in a Black Leather Jacket is a 1964 short 8 mm film made in Baltimore, Maryland, by John Waters and starring Mona Montgomery and Mary Vivian Pearce. The film has no dialogue, with the only sound being piano accompaniment played by Waters' mother and scattered pop songs playing over the footage.
A white ballerina (Mona Montgomery) is walking when a black man flirts with her leading to her getting in the car with him. Afterward, the black man climbs into a trash can and the ballerina takes a bath in full clothing.
On a rooftop, a Ku Klux Klansman performs the wedding. The wedding guests are played by people dressed in early pop-influenced costumes, American flags, tinfoil, and drag. Following the ceremony, Mary Vivian Pearce does a dance known as the Bodie Green. At the end of the film, the wedding guests drive off and dance.
