Even though that the mid 70's, had it's period of violent erotica in adult films, this movie seemed like it would have actually made a great murder mystery feature, ex-nay, the explicit sex..... I have this feature, and fell in love, & with the female prostitute, (played by laura bourbon), delores whom was the a hapless, drug induced, mind controlled slave, whom was the first to fall victim, to the mysterious sunglassed evil knaiving doctor..... I wished that she could have lived throughout the film, but was happy to see the evil doctor pay for his crimes of murder and all else, by john leslies gumshoe detective.... Buy it, if you have the chance!!....

Another great adult movie from the golden age

This was Bob Cresse' s first hardcore roughie shot in San Francisco. At that time the adult biz was not fighting the law against shooting adult films that had real sex acts in it in Los Angeles. Hardcore sex productions were tolerated in Frisco ,but, because of L.A. Bob could get in trouble if he showed if the film was shown in that area so he disguised his name. John Leslie plays a good dick as he did later in Dixie Ray Hollywood star. As Bob Chinn stated he was making a noir adult film . Remastered in it's widescreen version unlike the earlier s.w.v. version . The women of Frisco are being kidnapped by a competitive drug Lord played by Alain Patrick who drugs, hypnotises and rapes with the aid of his two things, Turk Lyon and Ken Scudder. While the other thing watches ,played by George Malo. Leslie searches to find the kidnappers ,but, not before he relaxes with a kidnapped women's sister played by Veronica Tay. Tanya Shea plays John Leslie's sister ,whom eventually kidnapped drugged and raped by blonde ,Enif Von Berdorf, to try to influence his sister to stab him. You have guest appearance as the slaves Desiree West and Sharon Thorp ,of Sex world game, and the late Viki Lyons ,was the wife of actor Turk Lyons drugging them and influencing them in various sex acts to commit murder. Once Tanya is rescued and she is waken from the drugs, John makes a mistake and does not have the police protect her. The two things break in and raped her and murder her. John's character finds out he is mad ,but, not really upset for some reason, like in real life he would. John is eventually kidnapped and sent to a boat to dump him in the ocean. With the help of Viki he kills the thugs. Bob plays a small part as a doctor. Including in this DVD is Bob Chin introduction and a interview in making this movie. 09/05/19

John Leslie is on the case
Woodyanders7 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Evil scientist Dr. Paul Severin (well played to the sinister hilt by Alain Patrick) runs a crime ring in which women are kidnapped so they can be drugged and hypnotized into becoming both lethal assassins and obedient sex slaves. It's up to determined detective Steve Blake (a fine and likeable performance by the always reliable John Leslie) to take Severin's operation down.

Director Bob Chinn relates the enjoyable and engrossing story at a constant pace, makes nice use of various San Francisco locations, and delivers several explicit and arousing sex scenes complete with hot amplified breathing and moaning. Michael Klinger's compact script offers a pleasing mix of moody noir and seedy hardcore elements. David Stern's polished cinematography gives this picture a satisfying bright look and even boasts a few striking shots of people reflected in Severin's silver mirror sunglasses. Moreover, Leslie registers as a sturdy and effective hero, Tanya Shea contributes a sweet and appealing portrayal as Blake's loyal sister Karen, and Turk Lyon and Ken Scudder are appropriately slimy as a pair of sadistic flunkies. The bevy of luscious ladies provides plenty of extra sizzle: Black beauty Desiree West, yummy blonde Enjil von Bergdorfe, attractive Vicky Lyon, foxy Laura Bourbon, slender Veronica Taylor, and fetching Sharon Thorpe. Chinn pops up in a small role as a helpful doctor. Recommended viewing for fans of quality 70's Golden Age adult cinema fare.
