Product Description
Cleverly kidnapped by the CIA to be the latest victum for an insane experiment, Russel Travers is forced, at gunpoint, to drink a secret serum. The serum alters his gender and he becomes Lisa Youngblood. Escaping and on the run, Lisa breaks into an armory to arm herself against the relentless CIA. Desperate to capture Lisa to secure the serum from public view, the CIA Director focusses the agencies' resources on her.

Unintentionally meeting Lisa, Green Beret Squad Leader Mike Tanner must choose to side with her to save his own life. Lisa struggles to establish the line between what is inherently male and what is female while fighting the CIA and trying to keep her secret from her new partner.

Hiding in Mike's former stomping grounds, an old holler, the nationally-known fugitives enjoy a brief respite. Flushed from their hideout, the fugitives flee to Louisville to televise the CIA plot to establish a CIA Nation in a third world country. And there they encounter the CIA en masse.
