- Review from Amazon.com
Tony and Franky are bag men hired by slimy Sal (RW Cresse) in L.A. to pick up about a million bucks (skimmed from Vegas casinos) from Charlie Rosa (David Friedman) in Las Vegas. En route back to Sal, the boys stop to help Dana and Marcia (TRACY SAUNDERS and LYNN HARRIS), two damsels in distress with car trouble. As expected, the men can't resist the gals' seductive charms and they end up detouring to a roadside motel where the girls literally screw the guys over and ' surprise! ' scram with the loot. Naturally, all hell breaks loose. Both Sal and Charlie send men out to find Tony and Franky while Tony and Franky track down the little strumpets in L. A. where they proceed to torture them into confessing where they hid the loot. The girls talk, the money is returned to Sal but... well, let's just say there are a couple of jokers in the pack, all of which leads to a violent confrontation between the heads of EVI and Olympic International... Both Friedman and Cresse look like they're having a gas playing goodfellas. Dave gets chased, shot at, and even scorches up the screen in a typical late-sixties sex scene with a gal he's Interviewing for a job. He's also natural and low-key on camera, in direct contrast to Cresse, who chews the scenery in another classic hambone performance of the kind you'd expect from the man who played the diminutive Nazi in Love Camp 7. Also on hand is sexploitation vet JOHN ALDERMAN in a groovy white suit complete with love beads and beard.....1968.....Not Rated

Two mob money couriers, Frankie and Tony, have their latest package of $1 million stolen by two con women, Dana and Marcia, in which the men must find the women to recover the money before they become marked men.
