Since there is no plot summary of this film, I suppose I should give you an idea what the film is about. A wealthy business man hires a private eye to track down his twin nieces (the lovely Young sisters.) He is worried about them and, even more important, he believes they may have stolen a large sum of his money. The private dick (no pun intended) tracks down the pair and spies on them, watching them go about their daily routine which mainly consists of them having sex with each other and just about everyone else they run into. The gimmick here is that in the finale, the Youngs have a foursome with a set of twin brothers. A great, perverse, intensely sexy adult film from the golden age of the industry (back when the films were DIRTY.) I just can't heap enough accolades on the Young Twins'...er, heads. Put very simply, they're the best.

Worthwhile Carter Stevens porn item

Warning: Spoilers
Flamboyant Texas millionaire Hubie Haliday (a delightfully broad portrayal by Jake Teague) hires a hip young private eye (a solid and likable performance by D. Hartman, whose identical twin brother J. Hartman also appears in the film) to find his missing wayward identical twin sister nieces Jean and Joan (slender and attractive real-life twin siblings Brooke and Taylor Young of "Teenage Twins" infamy), who Haliday suspects stole a considerable sum of his money when they ran away. The private eye searches New York City for the two ladies. Director Carter Stevens, working from a tight and blithely goofy script by Wesson Smith, relates the frothy story at a zippy pace, maintains an entertaining lighthearted tone, and keeps everything pleasant and bouncy with an amusingly raunchy sense of merry lowbrow humor. Of course, Stevens comes through with the expected steamy carnal action that includes fellatio, lesbianism (given an extra hot incestuous kick because it's done by identical twin siblings!), cunnilingus, and even a little mild bondage for good measure. A lively group orgy at a swinging club provides a definite arousing highlight while the big set piece with the Young twins doing just what you think with the Hartman duo certainly hits the super hot spot. The Young siblings not only look quite sexy and enticing, but also display a sweetly ditsy charm throughout. However, top acting honors clearly go to Bobby Astyr, the clown prince of 70's porn, who's in gut-busting inspired campy form as effeminate photographer Duncan Efstop. The groovy score does the funky syncopated trick. An enjoyable "adults only" opus.
No excuse for incompetence of this magnitude

Warning: Spoilers
Having scored with fans via the film TEENAGE TWINS, Carter Stevens returned to the gimmick with DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE, an absurdly poor excuse for an exploitation film within the XXX camp. It is embarrassing on so many levels, but I will concentrate on the basic blunders.
There are two reasons to exploit (and in this case the poor girls are truly exploited, desperate for a paycheck) twins in hardcore porn - the incest angle of them having sex together on screen "for real", and the fetish male fantasy of hopping in the sack with twins. Stevens manages to mishandle both premises.
The flashback (and flashback within flashback) structure is way beyond his abilities, and ruined immediately by a second gimmick, casting a nondescript non-actor as a gumshoe: D. Hartman (or is it J. Hartman?). For over an hour he reads his lines by rote, obviously intelligibility being the only reason to print a take, the bare minimum. His twin brother J. shows up in the final reel for the idiotic choreographed climax of four in a bed, two sets of twins humping, with absolutely no incest - no touching by boy to boy or girl to girl.
But long before that anti-climax, in the second reel the film's structure collapses with an extraneous scene of the Young twins in bed making XXX love to each other. Any semblance of suspense for the viewer, or even the time-honored "tease" that even today's crappy gonzo product observes in a token fashion is absent. So the film per se is really over at about the 15 or 20 minute mark. Back in the day when I went to drive-ins regularly, this was useful to know as an audience member -take Harold Robbins' big-budget exploitation film THE BETSY for example. One could watch it over again up through the early memorable scene where young Kathleen Beller goes Full Monty for a dive and swim in a pool, and then drive home. Similarly, '70s porn fans could wraparound a second viewing of DOUBLE and exit after a repeat of this early incest footage.
The serviced by two twins scene is throwaway filler later in the movie as Roger Caine, with hand in a cast for no reason, has the girls to himself after letting them stay at his Manhattan pad. Even here, his roommate soon shows up and Caine has to share the girls with him, spoiling any semblance of fantasy fulfilled.
Storyline of old Jake Teague (here to get in a typical Stevens ugly old guy having sex scene) hunting down the twins for stealing his money is boring and stupid, as is the contrived solution by gumshoe Hartman to the mystery. There is a line that Hartman doesn't look like a detective, thrown in to explain away the inappropriate casting of the no-talent goof, getting the job on two qualifications alone: being a twin and willing to embarrass himself for all time in a porno role.
Of course the Young twins can't act, and are embarrassing in a different way. But Stevens, as with his first film with them, has succeeded in enriching his bank account by the true exploitation of underprivileged talent needing work and a gutter-level audience in search of forbidden thrills. It's no different than amputee porn or casting "little people" in XXX, now to be enjoyed at a safe-distance by the new video generation, accompanied by revisionist "exploitation" historians and apologists giving it all faint praise and justification.
