A 77-minute fever dream where Hollywood eats another naive dreamer alive.
A suspenseful and romantic tale of a young man, Guy Montgomery (Michael Christian), whose whole life thus far has been a desperate escape from a tragic and dangerous past. Idealistic as he tries to be, a series of unfortunate incidents in the neon jungle of Hollywood lead him deeper and deeper into the mire of its seamier side until one terrifying evening at the home of a famous actress (Josette Banzet) Guy gets into a fight with her husband and beats him up so badly that he thinks he has killed the man. Once again, Guy is running from his past toward an uncertain future.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director David Worth would later shoot Bloodsport and Kickboxer—this is basically his origin story of filming men punching things.
This barely-released obscurity is pure 70s exploitation: shot cheap, acted desperate, and forgotten immediately—now resurrected only by the most dedicated trash-cinema archaeologists.
