Blond
sexpot Angel Tompkins is a thirty-year-old teacher. Sexy and
persuasive, she hangs around with teenager Jay North, who played Dennis
the Menace on the iconic sitcom.
The main problem is the relationship
isn't very taboo since North, with a receding hairline and ultra casual
manner, seems about twenty-seven. But the plot has little to do with the
teacher/student tryst, which in itself isn’t very entertaining – other
than the fact Tompkins is extremely gorgeous and sexy (reminiscent of
future starlet Cindy Morgan of TRON fame).

It’s the lanky freak Anthony
James, known for playing antagonist roles, that keeps the story going.
With a habit of stalking the teacher as she lays out on her boat, he
winds up accusing North of killing his brother in an intense scene in
the film’s opening.
Further in, as teacher teaches her student the ways
of love, the knife-wielding James is always around the corner – making
this a better than average low budget exploitation with a real edge.
And
although the ending, as Tomkins, North and James returns to the
construction tower from the prologue, goes a bit too long, the
metronomic funky soundtrack is very cool.
