A dangerous geek (Mike Butts) who has been kept in some weird kind of
hamster wheel, escapes a local freakshow and roams the countryside. At
the same time, stripper Josette lands in Las Vegas, where she is
immediately taken hostage by two criminals, who drive her far out into the
country - when their car breaks down. Soon, one of the criminals kills the
other in a shootout, and Josette seizes the opportunity to escape with
their loot, but somehow she loses her dress in the process. In her
underwear, Josette runs for her life, the criminal in hot pursuit - but
one can't help but doubt if she takes running for her life all that
seriously, as she occasionaly stops running to go skinny dipping, to take
a nap while tanning her bare breasts, and to wash her bra and panties. It
should be noted though that she loses all of her clothes while running,
but manages to hold onto the briefcase with the loot. Eventually,
Josette's pursuer catches up with her, but he is intercepted by the geek
who kills him. Then the geek goes after Josette, but she manages to get
away, and find a pickup truck and some clothes while running. So she takes
the truck to get away, but the geek jumps on back and makes numerous
attempts to kill her. Ultimately, Josette ends up at the very fairground
the geek has escaped from, and in her panic she takes the next
rollercoaster go get away - which sounds like not such a good idea on
paper, but actually her rollercoaster cart eventually runs the geek over. The
post-finale sees Josette stripping at the club she was hired by, with the
two cops (Dale Berry, Bill Rhodes) who have rather unsuccessfully tried to
catch up with the criminal and the geek during the whole picture, sitting
in the audience. Well, what can one say about this film that
above synopsis doesn't already tell you? Of course, the plot is
simplistic, not all that well thought through, and merely a hanger for as
many nude scenes (including quite a few on-stage stripping routines) as
possible - and that is exactly what makes this movie pretty charming (in a
cheap and sleazy sort of way of course): It's unpretentious, unsubtle,
enjoyably and self-consciously silly ... oh, and it has got some pretty
naked ladies. Of course, this isn't a masterpiece, not even a piece of
great erotica - but it's fun, too!
