Did You Know?
Alternate Versions
In the Prism Video VHS release, the sex scene between Allen Garfield and Debbi Morgan is censored by having the frame optically enlarged and cropped so that Garfield's rear end is outside the edge of the frame. This censored scene is noticeably grainier than the rest of the film. Troma's DVD release restores the scene to its original form, with the nudity intact. See more »Soundtracks

Jake Masters (Allen Garfield) is a private eye detective hired by a wealthy man who is the prime suspect in the murder of a young starlet... It is Jake's job to find the real killer... He not only uncovers the case, but also a lot of hookers and call girls...
The misadventures are highly comic and include sexual intercourse, unintentional necrophilia, and sinister lesbians... The sexual overtones are stimulating and funny... They are used more to comment on the hypocrisy of society than to derive unjust profit...
There is a lot of soul in this film, especially in the performance of Garfield, who plays a very adorable investigator... Madeleine Le Roux is volcanic as the fiery blond who is as quick with a pistol as she is with her verbal assaults...
