Arthur (Juan Fernández) proposes to his girlfriend Mary to marry him,
& everything couldn't be more perfect ... until he changes his mind
& suddenly strips & murders her. Then he makes his getaway ... When
Arthur's mother learns he is suspected of the murder (he did in fact
committ), she is devastated, & since she can't believe her nice &
quiet boy is capable of such a thing, she calls her brother in law Bill
Barlen, a cop, to investigate in the case, to which Barlen agrees since he
can't believe his son-in-law is a killer either. But when he goes through
Arthur's adressbook & interviews several young women he finds in it,
he is confronted with a trail of promiscuity & rape. ... but he also
finds the phonenumber of a surgeon, Doctor Meade, who immediately seems
suspicious & under thorough questioning confesses he has performed a
delicate operation on Arthur ... You see, Arthur was a very shy boy, who
apparently had a small penis, which he made responsible for his lack of
success with women. Doctor Meade's assistant Felix, Arthur's close friend,
on the other hand had a very large penis, & was quite a success with
women, so when Felix suddenly caught a deadly virus & died, Arthur
begged Doctor Meade to give him Felix' penis ... & the Doctor did in
fact agree & transplanted the penis. But on a subconsciuos level it
seems the penis is to Arthur more than just a decent piece of manhood ... Meanwhile
Arthur, still on the run, meets a hooker, but when she's already naked
& ready to go he realizes he can't perform. So Arthur steals one of
the hooker's kitchenknives & wants to go & kill doc Meade. Fortunately
though he is stopped by detective Barlen on Meade's doorstep & they
sit down & talk ... & in the process find out the reason for
Arthur's odd behavius - Earrings. Felix, when he was still alive, had a
predilection for earrings, was turned on by them - & this seems to
have somehow affected Arthur, & indeed, all the girls he has slept
with or raped, including Mary, did wear earrings ... only the hooker
didn't, thus he couldn't perform ... case solved. Admittedly,
the film is full of wooden actors, a stupid plot, incredibly bland
dialogue that often enough is about everything but the plot, the direction
seems to be just totally absent & the camera seems to be aiming
everywhere but on the characters - often enough they deliver their lines
while not in the picture -, or concentrating on something else all
of a sudden or keeping the characters firmly out of focus ... But it would
be wrong just dismiss the film as a piece of
incompetence to for these reasons (even if all these points are admittedly common denominators
of incompetence), instead the film (like many of Doris Wishman's
sex-flicks) takes the audience onto a triplike
experience full of glaring colours, unreal people in an unreal storyline,
& atrocious early-1970's interior design and fashion. Yes, all this still makes
it sound like a truly bad movie (sorry), but still you might love it, you
might hate it, you might love to hate it, or you might hate yourself for
loving it.
