By 1967, the campiness inherent to youth-runs-wild exploitation cinema had gained a rough edge; Mimsy Farmer's acid freakout dance here may be more Lola Falana than Timothy Leary, but it leads to her gang rape.

Who knew acid trips can turn into interpretive dance? Aldo Ray stars as a police chief trying to keep a fine line between the old fogeys & the peace loving freakniks, all the while, his daughter hangs with the wrong crowd. Funny as hell juvi film with everyone over the top. Fogeys & Freakniks. This was supposed
