Overview

ComedyAdventure

Frank and Barny are agents of the PBI - Pornographic Bureau of Investigation, sent by Chief Rank, Head of Vice, L.A. District, to go down on the dirty crime spots of Hollywood. Mousie's Hot Shoppe is an adult bookstore where the owner is as much titillated as his customers by the material on sale. The agents are surprised to uncover that Mousie knows Chief Rank all too well, but it comes handy as he is willing to be an informer. So, the agents "discover" the Travelling House of Pleasure, a door-to-door delivery service of of Eastern Delights, the Good Time girls.

Genuine 70s sleaze fashion, unironically preserved.

Writing

Dialogue that sounds improvised by people who've never seen a cop movie.

Best for:Solo: Late night with irony dialed to maximum.·Friends: Drinking game: every bad wig, take a shot.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Softcore situations throughout; it's literally about vice cops.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director 'Kendall Stewart' and 'Stephen Lomax' are widely believed to be pseudonyms; the film shares crew DNA with several 1970s Los Angeles exploitation quickies shot in the same three locations.

Cultural

This belongs to a micro-genre of 'comedy' vice squad films from 1970-1975 that existed primarily to show nudity while technically being about law enforcement—allowing theaters to bill them as 'adult crime dramas' rather than flat pornography.
