Synopsis by Robert Firsching
Cult filmmaker Aristide Massaccesi (aka "Joe D'Amato") directed this softcore sleazefest which rather unsuccessfully weds a traditional '70s Italian crime film with raunchy (if not particularly graphic) sexual situations. Two thugs rob a Mafia-protected drugstore and take a female hostage from a nearby porn shop, coincidentally owned by the same mobster, Martin. With their captive in tow, the pair of thieves meet up with their other partner and flee for the Canadian border, stopping off at a mansion in Connecticut where three college kids have broken in to have a party. Various sexual escapades ensue before Martin and his gang track down the thieves. Anne Maria Clementi, Brigitte Petronio, Fernando Ceruli, and Christian Borromeo star.
