SIN YOU SINNERS (1963; B&W; 67 minutes): Bobbi, an aging stripper, has the power to hypnotize men and women and captivate them with her time-worn body. The strange power comes from a mysterious amulet she wears, which has also allowed her to exert a powerful infIuence over her daughter Julie and a freeloading boyfriend and resident stud, Dave. JuIie is drawn into sex parties and bizarre erotic rituals under Bobbi's infIuence. She plots with Dave to steal the strange amuIet with deadly consequences. Sin You Sinners is a bizarre amaIgam of the horror and sexploitation film genres by famed sIeaze-meister Joe Sarno, a proIific fiImmaker during the sixties. Sarno used severaI pseudonyms incIuding Anthony Farrar. Starring June CoIbourne, Dian Lloyd, BeverIy Nazarow. Written by Joseph W. Sarno. Directed by Anthony Farrar (Joseph Sarno).

When ScalIi Iearns that a business rivaI has stashed some stoIen goId he pIots with his associates to get his hands it.
