A lurid 1970s exploitation thriller centered on a serial killer evading police through gender disguise, driven by graphic sexual violence and sensationalism rather than psychological depth.

Two Los Angeles detectives are assigned to track down and arrest a brutal rapist-murderer terrorizing the city. Their job is complicated by the fact that the killer is able to avoid capture because he can pose as a woman.
