Synopsis: There's Nothing as Good as a Girl Gone Bad! Wholesome Judy Collins becomes a Girl in Trouble when she defends her virtue by killing a man, then promptly loses that virtue by hiding out as a lingerie-model-turned-stripper! Wanting to experience "a taste of life" before marrying Johnny, her small-town sweetheart, Judy hitches a ride to New Orleans, kills a man who attacks her, and ends up washing blood off her brassiere in a flea-bag hotel: "Would I ever feel clean again?" On the advice of an old hooker, Judy takes a dubious modeling job only to get attacked again! Thinking things can't get any worse, she struts her stuff on the stage of the Club Flamingo when who should enter but her boyfriend Johnny.... Plus: On a trip to Las Vegas, a lonely middle-aged man hits the jackpot when he meets Susan, a young lady half his age, and has a Good Time with a Bad Girl. Though aware that she's "completely without morals," he's nevertheless shaken when they attend an orgy and Susan ends up in the sack next to a horny cowboy (Rollerball's John Beck) and a lesbian with a vibrator.... And: Sally Down (burlesque star Misty Ayers) proves that Bad Girls Do Cry when she's drugged, held prisoner, and forced to work in a whorehouse. Unfortunately, when All-American Tommy Cole tries to help her escape, a trigger-happy hood comes gunning for him and Tommy is forced into hiding... behind a telephone pole. Three girls, three features: lurid, sleazy, and downright hilarious!

Synopsis: "If you were a woman, you'd understand...." Poor pretty Patty. An "average American girl," she goes on a quiet date with her boyfriend and ends up getting raped by three psychotic thugs. Too embarrassed to report it to the police and advised by her boyfriend to "forget the whole thing," The Shame of Patty Smith intensifies when her doctor tells her she's pregnant! Not wanting to deliver a child conceived in violence, Patty seeks an abortion. Trouble is, the year is 1962 -- Roe v. Wade is still 11 years away # and finding a doctor that will perform the operation means going underground, starting with a greasy bartender who sets her up to be "butchered by an untrained charlatan...." With a good cast and the extra gloss from being shot at Republic Studios, here's an exploitation B that tries to go B+ by treading a fine line between social consciousness and teensploitation-style sensationalism! Plus: "You've Ruined Me Eddie!" is what rich teenage sex kitten Joan Denton tells lower-class lunkhead Eddie Mercer upon learning she's pregnant. But though nice-guy Eddie wants to get hitched and raise the kid, Joan doesn't want to get "fat and sick and ugly" and, instead, tells her Daddy to arrange for an abortion. Before long, Daddy is blackmailed, Eddie is beaten up by the local sheriff, and an out-of-her-mind Joan decides to murder Eddie in this wonderfully deranged Southern-fried rarity, aka Touch of Flesh! And remember: "Maybe the whole world's crazy... Crazy sick!"
