. It was his final film for the next 30 years, and is particularly infamous for its scene of a woman's nipple being severed.
Soon another stripper, Candy Cane, gets murdered and Gentry expands his suspect list to Grout (Ray Sager), an unstable vet who takes pride in crushing the heads of corpses he found when on the battlefields of Vietnam. He relieves tension by drawing faces on squashes and tomatoes then crushes them with his bare fists. Gentry also suspects the leader of a radical feminist group that riots in the strip club carrying banners with catchy phrases like “Lewd is Crude,” “Quit with Tit,” and “Women Right On!” After the over-the-top gory murder of Pickles, which included mutilating her buttocks with a meat tenderizer hammer and salt and peppering it. A badge with “Women Right On!” is found at the scene.
Meanwhile, Gentry buys Weston many drinks to keep her drunk and out of his way. During one of Weston's drunken episodes she admits she’s attracted to Gentry. Gentry ignores this and concentrates on the case. His investigation takes him to the owner of the strip clubs in town, Mr. Marzdone Mobilie (Henny Youngman
). Gentry then coerces Mobilie into holding an amateur stripper contest with a $1,000 prize, which also works as the beginning of a plan for Gentry’s trap.
