The score would be an easy one'€”if it weren'€™t for the women involved Out of work and dead broke, Lee Scarborough is a long way from his days as a football hero when he meets the sunbathing Diana James'€”an innocent-looking creature with a plan to make a fortune. A few months'€™ back, her lover embezzled $120,000 from a bank, but disappeared before she could get her hands on the cash. The police think he'€™s fled the state, but Diana is sure he'€™s dead, and knows who killed him: his wife, Madelon Butler, a sadistic drunk who is capable of anything. The cash is inside Madelon'€™s house, waiting to be stolen a third time, and all Diana needs is a patsy. Scarborough fits the bill. The plan sails along smoothly until Scarborough meets Mrs. Butler. By the time his luck runs out, he'€™d rather face a dozen hulking linebackers than these two beauties, who have been driven to a frenzy by jealousy, greed, and lust.
