Cops Riley (Johnnie Decker) and Hamilton (Larry Reed) are investigating
the murder spree of the Full Moon Killer, a masked man who kills every
full moon, usually pretty girls and usually wearing his respective
victim's stocking over his head - which is why no eyewitnesses can
identify the killer of course. Apart from that, the killer is also very
clever and leaves false clues lying around, pinning the murders to a whole
bunch of people, at least temporarily. The clues all seem to point into
two directions, the health and fitness club of Ray Revere, personal coach
and TV personality, and the strip club owned by and starring Tango
(Tempest Storm) - the latter much to the enjoyment of Riley and Hamilton,
so this way they can go to the strip club on working hours. Revere and
Tango just happen to be good friends as well. After much to and fro
which leaves our detectives with exactly nothing, lady Tango decides to
take matters into her own hands, and she performs a routine that's
supposed to lure the killer out into the open - to little avail at first,
but the police decides to give her protection ... but in the end, the
killer manages to corner her in her own club, but she manages to demise of
him before the police can rush to her rescue. And the killer was ... Ray
Revere, whom Tango had suspected for quite a while now. The
only film directed by black singer and occasional actor and Western hero
(the Bronze
Buckaroo), this is also a rare occasion to see notorious
stripper Tempest Storm (who was actually married to Jeffries at the time)
not just taking off her clothes but also doint a bit of acting (though
she's less than great at that to be honest). As a film though, Mundo
Depravados seems horribly dated even for 1967: Despite its sleazy
subject matter, the plot resembles a 1940's low budget murder mystery,
right down to the two detectives who also serve as comic relief, and while
the movie wastes no opportunity to get a girl naked and portrays all men
(including our two cops) as hopeless voyeurs, its attitude to sex and
nudity resembles more that of the nudie cuties from the late 1950's/early
60's. That's all not to say the film is a trainwreck of course ... or
maybe it is a trainwreck, but it's so much fun to watch, too, basically
for its inconsistencies, anachronisms, relative uptightness and the like.
Lovely - in a so-bad-it's-good-way of course.
