Frank Hellner, an engineer with Innobotics Corporation, has been working on components for a secret project for some time. His boss, Charlie Rogers, finally lets him in in the big secret and introduces him to their newest creation: a very attractive and sexy robot companion they call Valerie 23. Frank fits the profile for their target market - single men who require assistance like Frank, who is bound to a wheelchair. Frank has has some considerable difficulty relating to her as anything other than a machine even though she has been programmed to feel the full range of human emotion. As their situation develops, Valerie grows jealous of Frank's relationship with his physical therapist, Rachel Rose and is prepared to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Written by garykmcd

One heckuva robot
24 November 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

There is one very good reason for watching this distaff version of "Frankenstein": our protagonist, a wheelchair-bound scientist (Sadler) has sex with a comely android creation (Shinas). Shinas is absolutely gorgeous, and fulfills an anatomically correct living doll in the closet fantasy all hetero males share. And unlike "Jeannie" and "My Living Doll," this stunner gets completely nekkid before doing the dirty deed with her master. Nothing new plot wise here, but it is definitely entertaining for an adult male audience. This OL episode, like so many others, contains female nudity (using the most stunning looking women imaginable) and soft core sex scenes -- which certainly also must have entertained young boys everywhere. Highly recommended for the sensuality, even when you know where the plot will end up.
