Pops is a big Hollywood producer, too big to be grateful when a young Vietnam war vet saves his daughter from being a victim of some vile bikers on the beach and is more intent on getting him out of his daughter's life. So what does he do? Option a script that young Johnny (Murray MacLeod) has been given by a dying screenwriter he met on active duty, cast Johnny in the lead and plan to set him up on a morals charge. But gang leader James MacArthur has plans of his own revenge, shows up at dad William Windom's party and plans on drugging the entire party with LSD and frame it on Johnny, which is something that Windom probably wished he thought of.
This film doesn't know what it wants to be outside of a bad turn on, cheap and vulgar, and featuring some of the dimmest bulb young ladies I've ever seen on film. Heroine Lori Martin is pretty gullible for a producer's daughter, kept sheltered by him, especially since her mother (Jan Sterling) is constantly drunk. She's on their side, however, but is completely dominated by her controlling hubby. Jan Murray is a bubble headed no talent starlet used by Windom to keep the two apart. One step from being as bad from "Valley of the Dolls", but missing the requisite unintentional laughs. Goes on a bit too long for the jokd to have a funny punchline. Good however for one trip, but it's only a one way.
