Air-headed sex comedy set at a California high school circa 1970. Rock Hudson is the football coach and guidance counselor. He takes every opportunity to seduce young girls in his office. He befriends Ponce and proceeds to help him bag pretty substitute teacher Angie Dickinson. Meanwhile, bodies begin to stack up at the school and Telly Savalas tries to find the killer. The identity is revealed towards the end and it's not very surprising. In fact, other than the last ten minutes or so, this is basically an excuse to show teenage girls in various states of undress. There is no black comedy, there is no plot to speak of and Rock seems bewildered at his luck in landing such a role.
