Synopsis-Porno rip-off of "Charlie's Angels."  

        Movie starts with a couple (Eric and Leslee), playing around
in the snow.  They move inside to a mini-greenhouse where they start
kissing.  Outside, we see someone taking snapshots of their fucking.
Eric lies on his back and Leslee gives him head.  Like most other
'70's porn flicks I've seen, all the sex scenes are drowned out by
music; in this film it ranges from funky disco to weird pseudo-New Age
Classical.  He screws her mish then cowgirl then the scene just cuts
to them talking (no cumshot).  Leslee plays Ms. Mysterious as Eric
gives the old "Now that we've fucked let's get to know each other"
spiel.  
        Scene switches to Jamie Gillis posting pictures of various
females on his mirror.  Cheesy dark lighting and the Portentious
Soundtrack of Dread clues us in that he's a No-Goodskie.  We learn
that he runs a white slavery ring where he kidnaps young women then
prepares them to be sold.
        Back to the snow where we see (a flashback?) Leslee and some
other woman sparring hand to hand.  There's then a close-up shot of
Abigail Clayton's picture on Gillis's mirror.  We go to a dungeon
where Gillis has Abigail holed up.  Abigail was sent in to infiltrate
Gillis's ring but is now being brainwashed psychologically and
sexually.  Gillis evaluates her and tells her to check herself out in
the mirror.  She tells him that she sees a pretty girl who wants to be
free.  As she begins to masturbate, Susan McBain pops in and tells
Gillis he's needed elsewhere.
        To the snow where Leslee gets picked up by Gillis's lackey
John Leslie as he tells her he can give her a ride to Abigail's house.
She bolts out of the car when she figures him out and escapes to a
shed.  He follows her and tackles her.  He gets on top of her, fondles
her breasts then cuts open her sweater with a knife.  He threatens to
kill her if she doesn't give him head.  She does so (off camera-we
don't see the bj) before she reverses their positions and threatens to
Lorena his Bobbit.  He spills his guts and she leaves.
        We then see John and Amber Hunt (another of Gillis's gang)
yakking it up in the kitchen.  By this time, I was getting *really*
bored-and having the flu didn't help either.  I FF through much of the
rest of this film and will only summarize the sex scenes-

John Leslie with Susan McBain and Abigail Clayton-mish, cowgirl
John Leslie and Annette Haven-NC bj, mish
John Leslie and Amber Hunt-mish, doggie
John Leslie and Annette Haven (again)

        There was also a les scene in there somewhere with Leslee,
Annette, and Abigail, I think.  Maybe it's my short attention span,
but this movie just dragged on and on.  I could care less about seeing
a porno flick w/ "plot" (as the writing and acting are mediocre at
best) much less one with sex more tepid than the Vivid du jour.  Maybe
I missed all the cool scenes that (may've) been cut, but this flick
just plain stunk.  And I never thought I'd say that about a film with
Annette Haven *and* Abigail Clayton in it.  On the positive side, it's
kind of neat to see John Leslie the actor playing a total dumbass and
his scene with Amber Hunt was pretty good.  Not recommended.
