Rick (Michael Keye) and Linda are bored with their vanilla sex life. When Linda suggests that Rick come up with something creative, he responds by calling a bondage ad in a sex magazine, asking for whips, chains and psychodrama.

Much like the fire is the star in the mainstream film, Backdraft, the Mistress who responds to Rick's ad steals every scene in the video with her bondage and torture gear.

Some of this stuff must be seen to be believed. Rick's rat-son d'etre in the video seems to be to show off his elaborate outfit. Restrained to a bed, he sports a studded harness, opera length mittens, black stockings, high heeled boots, a ball gag underneath a skintight hood and some sort of crotch piece that leaves his cock exposed and wrapped in rope like Joe Dallesandro's penis-ribbon in the Warhol film Flesh.

Linda and the Mistress do most of the role playing in a no less bizarre manner, thanks to The Mistress' seemingly endless resources of props. Linda is positioned on her hands and knees in a wooden device and tortured with a whirling electric vibrator that glows blue and gives off sparks when applied to her furry pussy. At another point she is suspended upside down and made to suck The Mistress' black strap-on-dildo, which is then removed and apparently inserted into her, although The Mistress' strategically placed hands obscure any proof of insertion.

Strangely, there is little of the verbal denigration that adds so much to the ambiance of a B&D vid. Linda is a beautiful redhead with a natural body, but her expression remains fairly blank throughout her ordeal. It's really the variety of interesting props and The Mistress' competent performance that makes this vid a "must see." Fascinating.
