After his best corporate client switches to another attorney named "Jerry Bounds" (Adam West), a powerful lawyer by the name of "Pike Smith" (John Anderson) seeks out a private detective named "Alec Sharkey" (Howard Avedis) for help in this matter. To that effect, not only does Sharkey agree to monitor his rival's movements, but he also suggests that they hire a beautiful female named "Londa Wyeth" (Ahna Capri) to lure Jerry into a compromising position to subsequently destroy his law practice. For his part, Jerry does everything he can to stay faithful to his wife "Elizabeth Bounds" (Marlene Schmidt) but Londa is a professional and she knows how to seduce a man. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that at first, I thought this movie was a light-hearted action film, but things changed rather abruptly around the midpoint, and everything became quite serious after that. It didn't flow together very well at all. Throw in a an extremely weak script and the final product wasn't that good and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
