Two versions of this lame exploitation film exist, one with 10 minutes of gratuitous sex, the other a more acceptable release for general audiences. Henry is an ambitious young executive who marries the older Louise (Jan Sterling). Her brother John (Michael Bierne) becomes jealous when Henry takes over the family business that was promised to him. When Henry tries to take over a second company, John arranges sex and money for the corruptible board members. He also sends some erotic female agents to spy on and sleep with the enemy to discover their trade secrets. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
