Synopsis

Grace leaves her boring boyfriend, Steve, to hang out with two tough-talking big-wigged hustlers. The gals scheme to roll a closet-case they know won't squeal on them. After Ann lifts $700 bucks of his hard-earned money, the gals divvy it out and have an orgy to celebrate. Ann prefers her own knowing hands, while Grave and Joyce get some male satisfaction. During the festivities, a guy shows up at the door wanting in on their little party but gets the heave-ho. He comes back and rapes Joyce, tossing a quarter on her as she exclaims she just had the best lay of her life. Meanwhile, Grace initiates Ann into the girls' club. Joyce goes back to her overweight boyfriend and tells him she finally met a real stud. Not one for criticism, he strangles her. Grace decides that dull suits her just fine and goes back to Steve.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
