Synopsis: After working out her sexual frustration with a little semi-nude housework — a classic Wishman moment of pointless / obsessive detail — horny Chicago housewife Meg (doe-eyed and doughy GIGI DARLENE from Hot Nights on the Campus and White Slaves of Chinatown) is suddenly accosted by her apartment building’s missing-link janitor (who sports buck teeth and a come-and-go Slavic accent). When he threatens to tell her husband, Meg bashes in what little brains he has with a bowl. (We see his p.o.v. of inside the bowl after its killed him!) Not one to think things through, Meg hops on a bus for New York City.

Once there, her semi-lobotomized demeanor practically screams “Please Molest Me!” to every lunatic she encounters, including a hardcore teetotaler (Wishman regular SAM STEWART, also in My Brother’s Wife) who becomes a belt-swinging maniac after a single drop of booze; a predatory lesbian (DARLENE BENNETT from Another Day, Another Man); and a yappy landlady’s simian husband, who pounces on Meg seconds after she enters his house.

Synopsis: Set a million years in the future, after “The Great War” has scourged the planet, mankind has forsaken science for self-indulgence in all the carnal pleasures afforded by art, food, and lust. Work is left to a race of enslaved androids. One rebellious male robot (Bob Cowan) tires of pampering his lazy masters, and joins the humans in sin. The future never seemed so ridiculous… (from Other Cinema)
