For his fourth full directorial credit, indie legend Roger Corman (A Bucket Of Blood) worked from a script by David Stern, author of Francis, The Talking Mule and source of its sequels. There's no wisecracking ass in this tale but there is Mike (billed here as "Touch") Conners, later to be television's Mannix but here a kidnap victim opposite tough gal convicts Marie Windsor (Howco's Outlaw Women), A.I.P. fave Beverly Garland (It Conquered The World), and Susan "It's a cookbook!" Cummings. It's about a search for stolen diamonds hidden deep inside a Louisiana bayou. Carole Mathews (Female Fiends) is the policewoman who masterminds a plan to find the jewels by allowing the three cunning cons to escape and then tailing them through the snake-infested muck.
