She sought Big Thrills... and caught Big Trouble!

Drama

A young beauty queen travels to New York to further her modelling career, but contracts syphilis after being tricked into a sexual encounter. She is torn between the prospect of a slow, intensive but proven therapy and a supposed miracle cure.

VIBE

This lurid exploitation flick aims to shock with its frank, if heavy-handed, depiction of venereal diseases. It feels like a cautionary tale from a bygone era, designed to scare audiences straight with its sensationalist approach to sex and its consequences.
