The opening sequence begins with Max under the proverbial thumb of The Mystery Master. Max is spread-eagled and erect with his balls tethered to a crossbar strapped to his ankles. His wrists are in leather straps, his nipples are clamped, and he is gagged and blindfolded with leather paraphernalia. The Mystery Master works him with clothespins and whips prior to strapping him to a chair for further pleasure, pain, and genital shaving, after which he is allowed to shoot a massive load onto his own torso. Gabriel is then delivered to Master Moreno hog-tied with black rope and clad in denim, chaps, and black platforms. He is worked over methodically by Moreno, bound to the same chair, impaled by oversized toys, whipped, paddled, suspended upside down from the ceiling, and has most of his head shaved with electric clippers. The overexposed, grainy, surveillance-camera qualities of the photography heighten the underground aesthetic, but also interfere with the mood and tension that this strives to develop.
