    Where to Watch

About a VD epidemic in a coastal community. Filmed around Gloucester, Mass. Philip M. Thomas. Bill: Harlan Cary Poe. D.D.: Josie Johnson. Sheriff: Peter H. Clune. Jeremy: William Magerman. Tassie: Connie Van Ess. "B" Girl: Raina Barrett. Homosexual: Carter Courtney. David Durston directed.

In this low-budget sexploitation film a neurotic young woman spreads venereal disease to everyone possible in a small New England town. Black doctor Thomas and Vietnam veteran Poe help the bigoted community out of its epidemic by convincing the locals to stop their orgies until the culprit is found. The movie's heavy-handed treatment of a promising premise results only in boredom, despite the plot twists.
