Synopsis by Mark Deming

A loyal wife becomes the subject of an indecent proposal in this vintage sexploitation drama. Kendall Harvey III (Judson Todd) is a wealthy and jaded playboy with a reputation for bedding nearly any woman who crosses his path. Click (Louis Waldon) is a biker who wants to make a fast buck and get somewhere in life. One night, Click spots Harvey in a go-go club; hoping to make a good impression with the wealthy socialite, Click offers to introduce him to some attractive and willing women, and they repair to the studio of bohemian artist Bobbi (Joanna Mills), who has a knack for finding beautiful nude models. Through Bobbi, Harvey and Click meet Peggy Johns (Loraine Claire), an elegant and attractive blonde whom Harvey would like to add to his stable of conquests. However, Peggy is married to an advertising man, Roger (George Wolfe), who has just started his own agency. When Harvey learns that Roger's business has fallen on hard times, he makes Peggy an offer -- he can arrange for Roger to land a lucrative account that could save his company, but only if Peggy is willing to spend two days at his beck and call.
