A doctor facing blackmail for his involvement in illegal operations becomes involved with the daughter of one of his patients, who is ready to help him anyway she can.
Although promoted as a horror film in both its movie trailer and poster, and probably other advertising as well, the movie doesn't really have anything that horrific in it until we get to the climax. Although it's not necessarily a bad story, the filmmakers' main focus until the climax seems to be showing off the young ladies' bodies in the film, as they disrobe for sex scenes with Carpenter or co-star Arell Blanton numerous times. If it's an erotic thriller then, it's not expert enough for the scenes to give off that much heat, although I have to admit the film's ending is rather clever. What I found most intriguing about it was the plight of Carpenter's character, being blackmailed for performing abortions just a few years before Roe V. Wade. That quickly becomes a forgotten detail however, as the movie's more concerned with involving him in more and more debauchery to get the money he needs.
