Harry (Charles Napier) is a cop in some godforsaken bordertown in the
desert, who besides his job in law-enforcement also does a bit of
drugrunning for Mr Franklin (Frank Bolger) to better his income. Besides
that, Harry has a well-endowned girlfriend, Cherry (Linda Ashton), and an
affair with Raquel (Larissa Ely). Interestingly enough, the women know of
each other, and would desperately like to finally meet to get to know
each other better (yup, exactly what you think).
Eventually, Mr Franklin orders Harry to kill his fiercest rival in the
drugrunning business, Apache (John Milo), and eventhough that's a line
Harry does not want to cross, he ultimately sees no other way than to obey
his boss. But when he and his associate Enrique (Bert Santos) - incidently
Raquel's boyfriend - ambush Apache, he manages to get away wounded.
Mr Franklin is staying at the hospital Cherry is working at, and to
release his tensions, he tells Harry to get Enrique out of town under a
pretense and send him Raquel over ... but when Raquel arrives, Mr Franklin
already has his throat cut through by Apache. Then Apache steals Harry's
Jeep and goes after Enrique, ultimately killing him too. In the meantime,
back at the hospital, Cherry calms down Raquel after her encounter with
the dead Mr Franklin, and soon enough, the two women get pretty physical
...
The finale has a parallel montage of the two women making love and
Harry and the Apache shooting it out - which ultimately leaves both men
dead while the two women reach their climax ...
Uschi Digard plays the Soul of the film, who basically pops up
at random moments, usually naked or at least topless.
A typical Russ Meyer sex-and-crime thriller that features a pulpy story
and many a big and naked breast. If anything, the plot of this film is
even more skeletal than in Meyer's usual fare. What makes the film special
though - besides its great camerawork and fast pacine - is its associative
editing not usually found in this kind of film, that gives the basic plot
an interesting extra layer and lifts it above the usual pulp fare without
ever becoming pretentious.
Recommended.
