- Early in the 1990s, Hefner and others are interviewed on camera about Hefner's childhood and youth, the beginnings of Playboy and its later empire, what those enterprises meant to society, troubles with pundits, censors, and the government, and two crises within Hefner's world, the arrest and prosecution of a close associate and the murder of a model. Susan Brownmiller provides the basic critique of Hefner's businesses (women are objects); Hefner says he wanted to break repression, question traditional values, and present the healthy, wholesome, and real eroticism of the girl next door. By 1992, Hefner is extolling the virtues of marriage, children, and family life.
- A biographical portrait of the late American collage artist Romare Bearden, and the story of a remarkable exhibition mounted by the National Gallery of Art, which assembled a collection of privately-owned pieces for display.
- Information collected about pharaohs, mummies and ancient pyramids often prove to be more fiction than fact. Much speculation and mystery shroud this time in history, resulting in intense public curiosity and interest. The filmmakers embarked on an adventure to set the record straight about one mystery in particular. Traveling to Egypt with a leading team of Egyptology experts, host John Pruitt delved into the case of an Atlanta resident mummy thought to be the great pharaoh Ramses I. Since its discovery in 1817, the tomb of Ramses I has remained a mystery. The legendary god-king's mummy was missing, along with the priceless riches buried with him. Nearly 3000 years after his death, Ramses' well-preserved remains may resurfaced in Atlanta at Emory University's Carlos Museum.
