As the film opens we find Frank (Eric Edwards), a private eye,
using a jury-rigged camera to spy on a pair of lovers that he's caught in the
act. We learn that his job involves providing such films to suspicious clients
who are willing to pay for evidence of infidelity.
Frank is on his way to visit a new client, the
wealthy publisher of "Mann's World". As he leaves the receptionist's
desk a man walks up, looks around, unzips, takes out his cock and without a
word... proceeds to jack off right in the receptionist's face! Through it all
she sits at her desk, poised, unflappable, calmly accepting the cum that
splatters on her bored features with a look of supreme indifference.
At the other end of the hall, Mr. Mann (Alan
Marlow) is explaining that he wants Frank to keep tabs on his wife. As he
describes his wife's typical day, the scene shifts to Pamela's bedroom. The
beautiful blonde, played by the lovely Barbara Bourbon, stirs, eases back her
negligee, and slips a languid hand between her shapely thighs. With such solo
pleasures she begins each day; it's part of her morning ritual. After breakfast
in bed, she makes a call to her friend, a hooker played by Georgina Spelvin,
and they agree to meet later that day.
Meanwhile, Mr. Mann suggests that Frank begin
by following his wife to Sutton Place, where she goes for her morning
consitutional. There we find that Pamela has picked up a young man (Marc
Stevens). Offering to show him a "good time", she leads him to a
hidden alleyway. They embrace, and the gorgeous blonde drops to her knees,
takes out the guy's cock, fondles it, kisses it, and then proceeds to gently
suck him off. Giving himself up to the incredible rush of pleasure, he lets his
fingers find her silky blond hair and guides her head as she goes down on him,
drawing the entire length of his jutting prick all the way into her warm,
generous mouth.
An abrupt cut is made to the bored
receptionist who is once more being approached by the silent masturbator. This
time, she ties on a paper bib, readying herself to receive the faceful of cum,
which she passively tolerates before pronouncing it, in voice dripping with
disdain, as: "really disgusting".
Mr. Mann, viewing the film of his wife on her
knees servicing the stranger in park, finds it hard to believe, especially
since Pamela has always been such an "ideal citizen", he assures us,
so socially responsible. She is, even as they speak, doing social work among
the needy.
One such recipient of Pamela's concern is
Georgina, the happy hooker who is currently entertaining a customer. She
nonchalantly undresses and slips into a silk robe, all the while chatting with
her customer, a young inexperienced lad (Levi Richards) who haltingly confesses
that he thinks he is gay. She's willing to test his sexual instincts, and
prepares to give him a lesson in love. "Fuck me", she pleads
seductively, in a low, husky voice. Hovering over him, she eases down onto her
elbows and slowly drags her full hanging tits down his stretched-out body
before nuzzling at his crotch, and taking his flaccid penis into her mouth.
The skilled professional sucks the lad to a
full readiness, then climbs on, straddling his prone body, impaling herself on
his stiff rod. But before he can climax she climbs off, eager to reverse roles,
urging him to become the aggressor by following her instructions. She has him spread
her legs, pin her to the mattress, and fuck her; soon he's squirming and
grinding into her till they're both bucking their way to a happy orgasm.
The scene shifts to Barbara sitting on a park
bench, reading, when a man (Jamie Gillis) and a woman (Darby Lloyd Raines) sit
down on either side of her. They close in on her, and force her to leave with
them. She is taken to a vacant garage where her captors, urban terrorists who
taunt her as a "rich fascist", intend to use her sexually.
While Jamie holds the struggling blonde down,
his accomplice strips her, yanking her expensive slacks down her twisting loins
and tossing them aside. She pounces, burying her face between the naked thighs,
attacking the writhing pussy with gusto, until the squirming girl ceases her
struggles and yields to the warm waves of pleasure. Pamela's basic instincts
have taken over and she's moaning helplessly now, tossing her blond head from
side to side while the relentless tongue works her over, methodically licking
her lightly-furred vulva.
Then it's Jamie's turn; the captive is forced
to accept his prick. Jamie fucks Pamels's lovely mouth, and she is made to lick
and suck him off. And when he's finished, they abandon her, leaving the
slack-limbed blonde, naked from the waist down, her limp body sitting propped
up against a wall, sprawled legs loosely parted.
Frank is showing Mr. Mann the film of
Barbara's adventure in the hands of the terrorists, commenting that she seems
happiest when she is being used, humiliated, forced to act like an animal. But
Mr. Mann demurs, pointing out that his wife has a gentler, caring side...as
seen in her social work.
This leads to Pamela's visit to Georgina,
where the two girlfriends have slipped into an afternoon of lesbian love. The
scene is alternately hot and explosive; warm and tender as the naked women
slither and wriggle on the bed, legs interlocked, arms wrapped each other.
Georgina goes down on Pamela sending the sensual blonde writhing in heat.
Pamela returns the favor, eagerly playing with Georgina's lust-swollen cunt.
The two women fondle and finger each other; Georgina slipping a finger between
the blonde's pliant rearcheeks to explore the pale pink bud of her anus. The
camera studies Pamela's face and we watch her wince, her pretty blond features
contorting in sweet pain as the insinuating finger snakes its way up her ass.
The two men are in Mr. Mann's office watching
the film of the afternoon's steamy action when the phone rings. It is Pamela
announcing that she is on her way to a fund-raising cocktail party. Frank is
advised to go to keep an eye on her, for his client feels certain Pamela will
get bored and look for a little action.
As predicted, Pamela is on the prowl, and she
finds a handsome guest in one of the side rooms. They begin to make love, while
in the adjoining room speeches are being given praising the moral rectitude of
the candidate. Pamela is locked in passionate embrace, her dress rucked up
around her waist while she and her latest conquest fuck standing up. And it is
only later, when she's just finished masturbating him and he's hustling to set
his clothes right, that we learn that he is the political candidate who is
being lauded in the next room for his upright moral stance.
By now it is obvious that Frank has become
infatuated with his subject. We find him staring moodily at her window, then
restlessly pacing the grounds below. Pamela watches him pensively for a few
minutes, and then decides to go out to confront him. Since Pamela's always on
the lookout for men, and since he is captivated by her, they readily agree to
meet later that day in Pamela's apartment.
Entering her apartment Frank finds Pamela
elegantly dressed in a long black gown, and when he compliments her on her
outfit she lifts up her dress to reveal that she's wearing no panties. No time
is lost as the couple embraces; Pamela slides to her knees and wraps her arms
around him, pressing his loins to her face, before she slowly unzips the front
of his pants.
As Frank watches, she eases back and slides
the dress up her thighs, offering him her furry pussy, nicely framed between
the straps of a garter belt and the black thigh-high stockings she wears. Frank
finds the invitation irresistible and soon is kissing and licking the soft
folds of flesh spread open before him while Pamela closes her eyes and lets
herself slip into dreamy ecstasy.
Next Pamela, wearing nothing but her jewelry,
goes down on him. Her tongue lovingly circles his hardening cock and traces up
and down its length. Her moist lips encircle his shaft and she softly sucks him
off in a leisurely session of lovemaking that ends with the two of them fucking
on the floor before the mirrored wall.
After that Frank realizes he has become
involved with the subject of his surveillance, and he meets with his client to
confess; he can no longer continue on the case.
In the end, Pamela is sitting on her bed,
watching the movie of her latest fling with Frank on the floor of her
apartment, when her husband comes in and compliments her on her performance. We
now find out that the whole thing has been an elaborate game the Manns play,
hiring a series of private eyes to "spy" on her. They become aroused
as they watch the many sex scenes unfold once again on the screen, and soon the
happy couple are making passionate love as the curtain falls on the final act.
Comments
: Barbara Bourbon
is a mouthwatering beauty, with a lean blonde body that the camera adores. The
film is a winner; a bright, slightly wacky sex comedy. It has the production
values of the best of Hollywood and that distinctive, surreal quality that has
become Paris' signature. He is a master at weaving humor, wit, and satire into
a story while retaining plenty of sexual heat. The satire extends to the
socially relevant remarks inserted to give the film that elusive "socially
redeeming value" that only judges and legal scholars might find
acceptable. The result is a joy to behold.
