Wily and charismatic con man preacher Amos T. Huxley (smoothly played by Albert T. Viola, who also directed and co-wrote the bold script) runs a number on his congregation by pocketing all their donations for himself, sets up a successful moonshine operation, and even makes moves on enticing blonde tramp Mary Lou (essayed with sass and spunk by the yummy Ilene Kristen).
Viola keeps the enjoyably racy story racing along at a brisk pace, offers a tasty evocation of the downhome country setting complete with broad, but affectionately drawn hick caricatures, maintains a delightfully cheeky tone throughout, and sprinkles in a satisfying smattering of delicious bare female flesh. Moreover, Viola has a field day with his juicy lead role; Huxley's fiery sermon on lust and temptation in particular is a hysterical gem. The supporting cast are likewise quite lively and entertaining: Adam Hesse as no-count troublemaker Clyde, Esty F. Davis Jr. as Mary Lou's peppery poppa Judd, Bill Sampson as the hard-nosed Sheriff Zero Bull, and Garland Atkins as the eager, but inept Deputy Leon. The luscious Colleen McGee has a memorably sexy bit as the delectable Lady in Red. The sprightly score by W. Henry Smith and Roland Pope hits the spirited spot. An absolute hoot and a half.
