From Barry Mahon (Prostitutes Protective Society, The Beast that Killed Women) comes this story of Busty Brown, a private eye, who goes deep undercover as a stripper/go-go dancer to rescue a kidnapped girl.
Lotus (Lotus Lee) has been abducted to be part of the sex trade.
The villain behind the sex slavery operation is nightclub owner Limey (Keith McConnell).
The stripper Limey is talking to is played by Susan Evans. Evans was a regular in Mahon movies, and played the titular character in Mahon's Fanny Hill films (FH Meets the Red Baron, FH Meets Dr. Erotico, FH Meets Lady Chatterley). Sadly, it seems that FH Meets Dr. Erotico may be a lost film, and it looks very fun and interesting.
Busty Brown (Laurie Dane) applies for a job as stripper. She's a private investigator hired by Lotus' father to rescue his daughter.
Busty shows Limey what she can do and is hired.
Busty makes friends with Susan.
Backstage at the club, we see Gretchen Rudolph as the topless girl. Rudolph was in a bunch of great sexploitation films, and kept the flame alive in the seventies with a great performance in The Dicktator (1974),
A fun musical performance at the club
The crowd loves Busty.
Backstage, we get another look at Gretchen Rudolph
Susan's roommate is going out with George.
Limey's thugs bust into their apartment, manhandling Susan - they're looking for George, a relative of Lotus.
Because George is Asian, naturally that means he's a master of martial arts. He beats the crap out of the thugs single handedly. Unfortunately, we don't get to see any of the action; however we do get to see Susan and her roommate wear some really nice sheer gowns.
Susan and her roommate tie up Limey's goons.
Busty gets intimate with a guy who ends up rejecting her. This side story is really unclear and probably much of it landed on the cutting room floor.
George meets with Lotus and Busty; they plan an escape.
Lotus and Busty take out Limey, put him in a car and send it over a cliff!
The main problem is that the lighting department seems to consist of a guy with a flashlight. Never has a film looked so dim; although, it does sort-of add to the grimy vibe. Also, there seems to be a good deal edited out of this movie; I'd love to see a properly restored version.
