This is a typical sex exploitation film from cult director Dwain Esper, along the lines of his other classic - Reefer Madness, supposedly to deal with venereal diseases. Wild parties, lesbianism and sex out of wedlock and the dangers of the casting couch are some of the forms of "madness" portrayed. The "educational" aspect of the film allowed it to portray a taboo subject which was otherwise forbidden by the Motion Picture Production Code of 1930. »
