“SHOCK after SHOCK after SHOCK as DESIRE drives a bargain with MURDER!”

Ellie Masters (Melody Patterson) is a teenager who wants nothing more than to be somewhere safe after her mother and her mother's john are beaten to death in their bed. She is sent to an isolated orphanage run by Mrs. Deere (Gloria Grahame), with a handyman, Tom Kredge (Len Lesser), always nearby. Philip S. Gilbert shoots it in grainy, low-budget 1971 texture, the kind of picture that plays best late at night.
