Storyline

The lady is Mrs. Hilyard, a wealthy poetess who lives in a three-story city mansion and her cage is her elevator, which stops a dozen feet short of the main floor due to an electrical failure on a July 4th weekend. She rings her outside alarm, eventually noticed by a drunken derelict, who breaks into the house, ignores her plight and helps himself to various items and alcohol. He leaves with his loot but returns a while later with a plump prostitute and three teenage hoodlums, who proceed to terrorize Mrs. Hilyard as they wreck her home. Written by alfiehitchie

Trivia

Although he had made an appearance in Irma la Douce, this was James Caan's first credited feature film role after getting his start with sporadic television parts. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: Early in movie, a defective power cable leading to house causes some electrical appliances to lose power, but not other - -for example, a fan shuts off but not lights or elevator. In a private residence of this size with one wire supplying electricity to entire home, there would be either power to all appliances, or none at all. See more »
