All of the members of a Las Vegas fire commission are being lured to a seedy hotel room and being sexually photographed with various men and women in order to secure their votes concerning building safety codes.

Unfortunately, the promising plot of The Seductress, an older film finally seeing video release, never gets moving. Director Bob Chinn (Tropic Of Desire) refers back to this worthless plot device often enough, as if to remind TV viewers that this serious adult film has a great deal of social significance.

The non-believable characters muddle through their dialogue and sex scenes. A slimmed-down and dynamite-looking Lisa DeLeeuw gets caught up in a nasty bit of blackmail and her interracial sex scene with Billy Dee is the highlight of The Seductress.

At the film's conclusion, we are led to believe that the fire commissioner's negligence lead to the tragic MGM Grand and Las Vegas Hilton fires. The insulting piece of realism is not enough to rescue The Seductress, and it makes me wish that the original prints of this film had been stored at either one of those fire-sacked hotels.
