Joe Moreno (Kent Taylor) has Sandra Tate (Georgina Spelvin) sprung from
prison to make her part of his girls for rent-organisation, an
organisation that offers girls for pretty much everything - but primarily
fucking and contract killings. Sandra's speciality is the latter, and her
first assignment is to off crooked politician Holloran (Hugh Warden) - and
she decides to use a prostitute of Moreno's organisation, Donna (Susan
McIver), to actually poison the man ... without her knowing what the drugs
will have on her client of course. When Donna finds out that se has just
killed a man, she slightly panics and makes an escape to Mexico - which
might sound like a reasonable and sensitive decision that serves everyone
involved - yet Merino sends Sandra and his right-hand woman Erica
(Rosalind Miles) after Donna to have her killed. The chase gets somehow
out of hands when Donna's car is stolen by a hitchhiker (Tallie Cochrane),
she gets picked up by a bible-thumping pervert (B-Western veteran Robert
Livingston), and finally hooks up with a nice guy, Chuck (Preston Pierce)
whom she at first completely distrusts, but she opens up to him by and by
... until the two fall in love. Of course, Sandra and Erica have long
picked up Donna's trail, yand everything ends in a big finale on the beach
during which Chuck manages to kill Erica but can't keep Donna from being
shot dead anyways. Ultimately though, he can at least have his revenge on
Sandra after an extended car-vs-dune buggy chase ... One of the
better sex-and-crime movies by Al Adamson, held together not so much by a
strong story but by steady pacing and rather well executed action
sequences - and in this kind of movie, a bit of nudity every once in a
while doesn't hurt a bit neither of course. Now don't get me wrong, Girls
for Rent is by no means a great movie, not even a genre masterpiece,
but if you want a bit of trashy entertainment and don't mind about
plotholes or narrative inconsistencies too much, you could do a lot worse.
Actually, this one's pretty enjoyable in a way.
