As part of his heinous scheme, Stuart plans to assassinate a senator and replace him with a figurehead who will establish a base of oper-ations for the seductive and deadly beauty known as "Miss Littleton".

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Godfrey Ho made over 40 ninja movies this way, buying cheap Thai action films and splicing in white actors in ninja hoods for Western VHS markets.
Richard Harrison was so embarrassed he tried to buy every copy. He failed. The internet exists now, Richard.
