There's a power struggle going on at WSEX-TV: Weather girl Kendall
Saranski (Amy Lynn Baxer) knows she is a damned good investigative
reporter, but every time she tries to start something, she is relegated to
playing second fiddle to sports reporter Brian Kilgore (John Richardson)
... who just isn't very smart, but good at evoking emotions with the
audience. Apart from that, he is trying to get into the panties of every
woman at the station, including Kendall's of course. Kendall sees her big
break coming when the station runs a series of stories about a bomber
dubbed the mad bomber (so much for originality), but instead of
giving her the break, station boss Buel (Ken Dashow) first sends her on an
assignment checking out the self-help seminar of the station's best
sponsor Frank Friendly (Scott Thompson Baker), then lets her produce the
telethon hosted by none other than Brian Kilgore. Meanwhile Amanda Cross
(Debbie Rochon), one of the station's producers, conspires against pretty
much everybody, just because she can. So she tricks Kilgore into a SM
session with her, which she has put on film to use against him, then
tricks Frank Friendly into giving her the secret of his seminars (just
three little words that make a world of difference) to reveal live on the
air. Amanda even uses her body to get where she wants (though the film
remains unclear as to where that might be). The telethon receives a bomb
threat from the mad bomber, but Buel decides to put it on anyhow. Kendall
has meanwhile picked up a definite lead on the bomber together with her
new boyfriend, stagehand Neil (Joseph Pallister), but then they blow it
when they decide to have sex while the bomber prepares to strike. During
the telethon, Amanda has thought up a segment to explose both Brian
Kilgore and Frank Friendly, and pitting them against each other at the
same time ... and right then and there, the bomb goes up - but does
surprisingly little damage, just enough to give Amanda and the police a
lead to the identity of the bomber - none other than Buel himself, who
only came up with the whole bomber-scheme to push his station's ratings. Very
mediocre low budget erotic comedy that's actually rather low on sex and
that seems to repeatedly lose its story for no real reason at all. Add to
that a very uninspired directorial effort and you're left with rather
little ... and yet, the film has one saving grace, and that's - no real
surprise here - Debbie Rochon, who is not only on her hottest in this one
and does get naked on a couple of occasions, she also shows comic talent
that is way above the rather lame material she is given here and that
makes her character as the bitchy producer the one shining light in an
otherwise very unremarkable film ...
