A blonde can't deal with her parents' negligence no more, so she's
throwing a party where she's fed some goofballs - which make her somehow
apathetic to the miserable life she's living. But soon she wants more and
buys her first marihuana joint at a malt shop. Soon she has become a
regular user. Then she witnesses the police bust some other marihuana
users, and warns her pusher - who's just in the process of selling heroin
to a "hype", a heroin addict who's also a small-fry pusher. The
blonde's pusher sends her home with the hype ... who of course makes her
take a shot of heroin in no time. When one of his other customers, a
hooker who also works for him, interrupts them, he takes the blonde for a
walk. The police raid the place but only find the strung out hooker. It's
only eventually they catch the hype too, and get the information about his
source from him. The blonde has escaped, but slids down the social ladder
- and eventually, when she's apprehended by the police, she's become a
strung-out and disillusioned prostitute. The whole film is shown from
two perspectives, that of the blonde and that of the police following the
route of the drugs. A drug-scare film 1950's style that suffers
from over-generalization on one side, and from its unsympathetic
law-and-order perspective on the other while pretty much ignoring the
reasons for drug addiction and the like - which, together with its wooden
acting and its clumsy avoidance of on-screen sounds makes this one rather
charming in a very old-fashioned way. Now don't get me wrong, this is not
as laugh-out-loud funny as 1930's exploitation classics like Reefer
Madness, as this film goes for a more sober tone and does actually
provide some information about police work, but it has its exhilarating
moments at least.
