Several familiar elements from "The Maltese Falcon" are used in this porn parody, shot on film as a VHS release and moderately entertaining. It's a sloppy production but the plot twists and turns make it worth watching.
Joey Silvera stars as a private eye, who like Sam Spade works on avenging the murder of his partner. A nice touch, reminiscent of Mary Tyler Moore's early career role in the David Janssen TV series "Richard Diamond, Private Detective", has beautiful Selina St. Clair portraying Silvera's leggy secretary Rosy, her face not shown until the final reel when her character assumes a more important aspect in the story.
Deidre Holland is fine as a femme fatale who hires Silvera to find her kidnapped teen sister Karen (sexy starlet Destini Lane a/k/a Whitney Banks, who is billed here as Shana and her character name listed as "Kitty"). She later keeps changing her story, eventually turning out to be search for a smuggled Russian artifact which turns out to be a very modern-looking glass dildo.
Also sexy is Krista as the widow of Silvera's partner, who our hero is having an affair with. Plenty of extraneous sex is included in the form of flashbacks and a videotape of Kitty in a threesome with the movie's director Jeff Coldwater plus Arnold Schwartzenpecker (billed as just Arnold Schwartz in the credits.
Making a cameo appearance is comedienne Wally Wharton as one of Joey's clients who tries to seduce him -she's a mainstream performer who frequently pops up in mainly NonSex roles in porn features.
