"George Maxwell" (George E. Carey) is a mild-mannered Assistant District Attorney who has been given the task of prosecuting a motorcycle gang member for committing the horrific murder of a young woman. His wife, "Edith Maxwell" (Anne Bellamy) has gone completely frigid after having a baby 8 months earlier and as a result George is both lonely and frustrated. It's at this time that Edith hires a sexy babysitter named "Candy Wilson" (Patricia Wymer) who promptly goes about trying to seduce George. At first George is able to maintain his discipline but eventually he succumbs to Candy's charms and things take an immediate turn for the worse after that. 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 particular film was one of eight included in a DVD set titled ""Drive-in Cult Classics, Volume 3" which contains motion pictures typically seen at drive-ins in the 60's and 70's. In most cases these movies were at best grade-B offerings meant to partially augment the lack of quality films available to drive-ins during this time. Most of them are low-budget, sexploitation projects and this particular film is no exception. Although filmed in black-and-white, this specific movie has a couple of things going for it which raises it a notch or two higher than some of the other pictures of this type. First, it has the luscious actress Patricia Wymer in a leading role and she practically carries this film all by herself. Additionally, George E. Carey performs in a professional manner which also helps this movie to a lesser extent. In short, while this certainly isn't a great movie by any means, I found it to be satisfactory for the most part and I rate it as about average.
