The Angels are hired by a sheriff in Tennessee to look for his nephew Seth, who'd traveled to LA to get in touch with his ex-fiancé, who to his chagrin had gotten involved in the adult industry.
In the opening scene, we see Seth, played by Robert Pierce, run over by a car driven by the henchman of the producer of the adult film. The producer, Joe Willis, is played by Gary Wood. For some strange reason Willis figured the best way to get rid of an ex-fiancé was to murder him, instead of, I don't know, threatening him, or just beating him up?
Gary Wood makes his third Charlie's Angels appearance, having previously appeared in season 2's 'Angels on a String', playing a kidnapper, and season 3's 'Angels in the Backfield', playing a would be thief. After playing a kidnapper and a thief, he graduates to murderer.
Elisa Leeds plays young starlet Bess Hemsdale, making dirty pictures under the name Sally Storm. She'd come to LA to be a country singer/actress, but ends up partaking in what she calls 'art films', but we know exactly what she's doing. With titles like Carnal Highway, this ain't the wonderful world of Disney.
This is Leeds second CA appearance, having appeared in 'Teen Angels' playing Cissy in season 3. Her most prominent feature is her airy, baby doll voice.
When one of the Angels is needed to go undercover as an aspiring adult film starlet, naturally Kris Monroe draws the assignment. She certainly has no problem filling out her gaudy pink spandex tights.
On a down note, Edward J. Lasko slips one of his musical compositions into the proceedings, an acoustic country song written and performed by Bess (the Angels hear it on tape), though the actual singing is done by Lynne Marta, who had previously sung for the Amy Waters character in 'Angel Blues'.
Overall the episode is entertaining, if predictable. Scenes of the adult film starring Sally Storm, AKA Bess, shot on a grass hillside, were rather risqué for its time, while simultaneously being highly amusing. The ending is every bit as unrealistic and overtly sentimental as one would expect from Edward J Lasko.
