Notes:Teed Morrow works for Powell Dennison, a crusader who is trying to clean up a corrupt city run by Lonnie Raval. When Dennison gets to close to the truth, Raval tries to frame Teed for the rape and murder of the mayor's wife. Teed's lawyer hooks him up with a high-class call girl named Barbara for an alibi. When Morrow escapes the trap, Raval has his men kidnap Dennison's daughter and threatens to put her in a white slavery ring if Dennison doesn't capitulate. Barbara agrees to help Teed try to rescue the daughter from Raval's headquarters. Things go wrong. The daughter is killed, Teed is seriously wounded and Barbara is sliced up with a knife. But it leads to Raval's undoing. When he heals, he takes over for Dennison and cleans up the city and then meets up with Barbara who has escaped from her past life style.

Review - Judge Me Not

Again with the life time commitment to love after one night together. Teed and Barbara's story just doesn't work. The rest of the story is just violent and tawdry and unpleasant.
