    "You Can Strip To Show Your Good Faith!"...

    THE ABDUCTORS opens with the abduction of several beautiful women by a group of men. The opening credits appear, with a fantastic theme song featuring a grand horn section.

    Enter mod, tough-talking, super-detective, Ginger (Cheri Caffaro), who is sent in to rescue the kidnapped girls, before they're sold into "white slavery".

    Meanwhile, the mean, terrible men abuse and degrade their captives as much as possible. Full frontal nudity ensues.

    Fear not! Ginger is on the case. She's running down clues while wearing amazing outfits. Ginger seems to have brought her entire wardrobe along. She's got more snazzy clothes than all three of Charlie's Angels combined!

    Other than being a showcase for Ginger's innate fashion sense, there's also the copious nudity to consider, including bulbous, hairy men. Those watching for the "sex scenes", would be better served to simply look on the internet. Unless, sweaty, fur-covered males are your forte. This is about as ridiculous as a movie can get. It's also incredibly dull whenever Ginger's not on the screen!

    HIGHLIGHT: Ginger's maraca dance routine!

    An ancient artifact from those drive-in days...

    The Second Film of the "Ginger Trilogy"

    In this second film of the "Ginger Trilogy" the detective known as "Ginger" (Cheri Caffaro) is called back into action to investigate the disappearance of four beautiful young women. Since the abductions appear to have been planned well in advance and all of the ladies disappeared in the same general area, both Ginger and her boss "Jason Varone" (William Grannel) suspect that this is the work of a local sex slave operation. So, in order to break the case, a beautiful woman has to volunteer to be bait and hope that everything goes according to plan. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, I will just say that this film was better in some areas than its predecessor ("Ginger") but lacking in a couple of others. For starters, I thought the acting and camera work were slightly better. However, some of the scenes lacked passion and the script could have used some improvement. In short, I rate this film about the same as I did the previous movie. Average.

    1970's action flick with plenty of nudity

    Ever see a tv show where the Evil Guys have kidnapped a beautiful woman and are holding her hostage until the Good Guys can come along and rescue her? Well, I don't know about you, but if I was an Evil Guy and had a beautiful woman tied up, I sure wouldn't leave her fully clothed. And in this film, the Evil Guys think like I do, but they take it to the next logical step - white slavery.

    The film starts with a blonde woman, her arms tied behind her back, being led down a hallway wearing only her panties and then thrown in a small room. In the next scene, 3 young women (supposedly cheerleaders) are driving along in a convertible Cadillac when the Evil Guys blow out the Cadillac's tires with a shotgun. When the girls stop, the Evil Guys grab them and tell them to strip down to their panties. While the girls are undressing, one of the Evil Guys throws the discarded clothing into the car, douses the car with gasoline and sets it afire.

    The girls are then taken to the Evil Guy's hideout, where the chief Evil Guy tells them that they are going to become sex slaves, and tells them that to show their acquiescence they must remove their panties. To persuade the girls, the chief Evil Guy pulls back a curtain to reveal the blonde woman suspended like a hammock, squirming against her bonds wearing only her panties. The girls quickly decide to surrender (keep in mind that in the 1970's, just showing a nude woman in bondage was pretty racy. Nowadays, where tattoos and body piercing is a form of fashion, the girls would probably say "me next!").

    Ginger is a private investigator who is hired to find the missing women. After examining the burned out wreck of the car and doing some mild investigation, she determines that the girls have been kidnapped and used for sex slaves, so she hires a model to act as bait. Naturally, the model gets kidnapped and Ginger uses herself as bait, whereup she is promptly kidnapped, too. Back at the lair, both the model and Ginger are tied up and interrogated by the Evil Guys. Ginger is taken to a separate room while the model is stripped and fondled to get her to reveal information (apparently, arousing a woman is sufficient to get her to spill the beans). In the private room, Ginger is getting a treatment of her own. Fortunately, Ginger and the model had swallowed little disks which enable the Good Guys to track them down and rescue them.

    This is a good example of a bondage/adventure/action film. The first film of the series ("Ginger") is not as good as this one. The third film of the series ("Girls Are For Loving"), has more airplanes and speedboats, but the gratuitous nudity doesn't really kick in until that last 30 minutes of the film. "The Abductors" starts with a bang and finishes with a bang, the way a good film should.

    Female James Bond and more

    This is the second installment in the Ginger series. Ginger (Cheri Caffaro) is a sexy detective who sets out to nail a gang of men who kidnap young, pretty women to sell them as white slaves to rich businessmen, as mistresses and with a view to bondage. Certainly she matches James Bond in terms of enjoying sleeping with the enemy, regardless of whether she converts them to good, as well as anyone else along the way who is attracted to her, which means she will be attracted to him. But this movie goes beyond James Bond in terms of not only graphic scenes, but bondage fantasies, and it seems Ginger enjoys men in bondage even more than her opponents enjoy women in bondage. There are also good action and backdrop, some amusing tension between Ginger and her mentor, and a good feeling or revenge against the bad guys, altho at the very end the movie departs from the main themes. The acting (besides Cheri) leaves something to be desired. Very entertaining, and definitely recommended.

    Everything I expected

    The movie starts off on a good note w/two gentlemen escorting a half naked woman into a room where they leave her. The basic plot is 3 cheerleaders are kidnapped, made to strip, and taught sex acts so they may be sold to businessmen to be their "mistresses in bondage" for the price of $100,000. Any attempt to resist is punished by being tied up. To show their complete cooperation, they are asked to removed their underwear. None of the three decline. A detective is assigned to investigate this, she eventually finds the location of the girls but is caught by the evil henchmen. She is then put in the same position they were, but manages to break free. This movie was everything I expected. Full frontal nudity, as well as a somewhat enticing story line. It's a grade above the usual corny 70's porn acting.

    • Trivia
      Cheri Caffaro said in a rare 2011 interview that she was terrified to take all her clothes off in front of the cast and crew when she filmed Ginger (1971). It was her first time being naked on camera and in front of a group of several men. By the time she filmed this sequel, she was getting more comfortable with it and filming sex scenes with naked men, especially since she had married the director/writer Don Schain before filming this one. She said it made her feel more confident and secure being totally naked.
