GETTING EVEN

Judy is an innocent 16-year-old when she is raped by her older brother-a drunken, vicious rape. It leaves her emotionally scarred, bitter and resentful, broken inside. She turns to alcohol to deaden her pain, but that only leads to a second rape. Judy begins to hate men. And as time goes on, she moves into a cabin on the California coast, and leads a solitary life. But life continues to deal her some cruel blows, and eventually her hatred of men takes a new turn. She begins to excise the pain by killing it. And now Judy is on her third murder. It gets a little easier each time.

EASY MONEY

Charley doesn't expect more than a cheap meal when he stops at the roadhouse, so finding Janie is a real bonus. She is exactly the kind of girl he is looking for to run a blackmail scam down in Miami Beach. Janie is 23 but looks like she could easily pass as a teenager, and Charley figures that the two of them can clean up running the underage-sex gambit on the lonely tourists. Janie agrees. The first guy they run the ruse on is a middle-aged widower. After seducing him, Janie changes into her teenage outfit, and Charley threatens him with the cops for seducing his sister. And so the cruel con begins.
