A bad drug deal goes wrong. The buyer dressed like a priest cold-blooded red shoots the deliverer. The crook still in the priest get-up, takes a plane flight. Here we see Greg Evigan in his film debut. He plays a steward. Three rows behind is a lady in disguise keeping a watchful eye on this crook. It's Scorchy! Connie Stevens is hot on his trail. The plane lands in Seattle. Greg Evigan has made it home. As he comes out of the shower into the living room, he is held-up by a knife-holding thug. he does some quick footwork on the thug, but the thug punches him and throws a chair at him, followed by a bucket of water in Greg's face. Connie Stevens plays a Narcotics Undercover Agent, Jackie Parker. She will do anything to crack a case, including going to bed with them. She gets closer to making a big deal and Greg Evigan as well.
This film has lots of action, Connie Stevens skinny-dippin', cat and mouse chases, car chases, shoot-outs, helicopter/boat chase, but get this, Connie drives a dragster through the streets of Seattle.

If you like Connie Stevens swimming, you might like to see Marilyn Monroe's unfinished film, "Something's Got To Give (1962)" with Marilyn swimming naked. The film was put together for a documentary shown on American Movie Classics. Marilyn Monroe - The Diamond Collection (Bus Stop / How to Marry a Millionaire / There's No Business Like Show Business / Gentlemen Prefer Blondes / The Seven Year Itch / The Final Days).

Don't waste your time and money. Next to "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane", it is the biggest waste of celluloid. The most horrifing sceen is Connie Stevens topples, trying to change her image. Frankly it could turn you off of women for life! Good thing she changed from acting to selling make up. Shame there is not a minus star rating for this dud.
