This film essentially begins with an older gentleman named "Pop Bartlett" (Charles Maurice) who owns a small bar along with several cabins adjacent to it. Working alongside him is his teenage son "Bob Bartlett" (Don Hirst) who has become somewhat bored and wants to get out on his own and experience what the world has to offer. The scene then shifts to a pimp by the name of "Slavick" (Julian Harris) who has managed to convince several young women that they could get rich by working as prostitutes for him along the side of the highway. And it's during this time that Slavick sets his sight on Pop's bar which would serve as an ideal place for his illicit business. That said, when Pop initially refuses to sell his entire business to him, Slavick decides to use other methods which are much more persuasive--and this is where one of his female employees named "Billie" (Diane Winthrop) enters the picture. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, although this film may have been marketed as being somewhat edgy or provocative, it was actually quite the opposite with Charles Maurice essentially lecturing the viewing audience about the pitfalls of young ladies drinking and subsequently falling into a life of prostitution. Or something like that. Be that as it may, I found this to be an extremely dull film overall, and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
