Nothing is more auspicious for a young couple than a pay rise. When they move into a larger apartment, however, the husband is rendered disabled and unable to work. The wife needs to get a job quickly and with the bills pilling up, an unusual proposal appears and, succumbing, she is faced with the unromantic reality of sex work.

The first roughie by Doris Wishman, with sexuality as a central subject, is a rape and revenge film, a subgenre of exploitation cinema. In this film, Gigi Darlene is Meg, a housewife who flees Boston for New York after killing the doorman of her building while he tried to rape her. Structured by a long dream sequence, the film follows Meg through several other encounters as she tries to escape prison.

The first of two films by Doris Wishman with burlesque performer Chesty Morgan as Crystal, a woman who uses unusual methods to exact revenge on the mobsters who killed her boyfriend. By seducing each one, she incapacitates her victims and suffocates them with her breasts. A brief clip appears in the film Serial Mom, by John Waters.

In one of the director’s first nudie cuties, the nudist colony is the right starting point to explore the possibility of showing many people naked on screen. It is the opening of this controversial colony that leads a journalist to infiltrate it, hoping to denounce the premises. Circumstances quickly change and the journalist becomes a nudist.

A sexploitation film with a hint of the supernatural. Zeb has an unhealthy attachment to Ann, and when he discovers artefacts with voodoo powers that allow him to control the object of his obsession, the young girl cannot escape this maddening, abusive game.

A film that presents itself as a comic attempt to satirise the adult film industry, which features Sammy Petrillo, a comedian and Jerry Lewis impersonator from the 50s, then in decline.

Doris Wishman goes where no woman has gone before and transports sexploitation to the surface of the Moon in a sensual science fiction film, as if Star Trek had arrived with the wrong coordinates. When Dr. Jeff Huntley receives an inheritance he begins to build a rocket ship with the help of his mentor Dr. Nichols, in order to travel to the Earth’s satellite. In a Florida-turned-Moon, they encounter a sensual (and telepathic) alien community.

In true Charlie’s Angels style, the immoral three are half-sisters (separated at birth because they were given up for adoption) whose mission is to avenge their mother’s death — and, consequently, obtain the inheritance that she left them. The mother in question is Jane from Double Agent 73, although she is no longer played by Chesty Morgan.
