SUMMARY: The story is set in "Oceanfront High School," a fictitious American high school in the height of the sexual revolution. Young female students are being targeted by an unknown serial killer. Meanwhile, a male student called Ponce is experiencing sexual frustration, surrounded by a seemingly unending stream of beautiful and sexually provocative classmates. Ponce doesn't know how to deal with this So he goes to see Tiger the Head Coach of the Football team. Michael "Tiger" McDrew is the high school's football coach and guidance counselor. There is another aspect of Tiger's character. He is quite fond of sexual encounters with female students. Tiger tries to befriend Ponce and help him deal with his sexual needs by encouraging him to seek the affections of a sexy substitute teacher, Miss Smith. Meanwhile, one young girl after another turns up dead. A police detective captain, Sam Surcher, investigates but never makes an arrest.
QUESTIONS: Who was the first victim? Who did Sam Surcher think is the killer? How did Tiger get involved with this? Did Ponce overcome his problem? Who was Miss Smith? Where did she come from? Why did Tiger send Ponco to see Miss Smith? Was the murdered ever caught?
MY THOUGHTS: This was one of those movie that had a hard time keeping your attention. It was kind of a comedy and drama movie mix that didn't jell to well. It was hard to stay with this movie because it lacks action. Joann Cameron role was waste in this movie. She's far to pretty to waste a body like that. I bought this movie because Of Angie Dickinson and here talents were also waste in this movie. There was the scene of her lying on the bed with no clothes on and outside of that, this movie was not very interesting. Even with Angie Dickinson in this movie, I can only give this picture 6 weasel stars.
