Dino Fantini, whose only other acting credit is the made-for-television Return to Peyton Place (1972) is teen greaser Dirk Williams, a lust-crazed enforcer for a porno film racket led by Gloria Henderson (Jean Fontaine) and director Johnny Ryde (Carl Anthony from Plan Nine From Outer Space). In writing and directing an apparent anti-porn film, famed schlock filmmaker Edward D. Wood Jr. was continuing the hypocritical legacy of roadshow reels that offered jaded audiences eyefuls of whatever they were purportedly condemning, be it teen sex, drugs, prostitution, or juvenile delinquency. In less than ten years Wood would be making his own smut movies. Also with Kenne Duncan (The Astounding She Monster), Duke Moore from Wood's Night Of The Ghouls, and Buster Keaton's brother Harry (Dance Hall Racket).
