The Tickle Palace is the place of perky blond Malery's dreams -- a paradise where she can give and receive tickling action to her heart's content. First, manager Chelsea sets her up with cutie-pie Barbi, who is very sensitive to fingers and lips on her skin. Then Malery herself gets bound and tickled. She enjoys it so much that she asks for a job, so hiring manager Benny comes in to give her a tickle test to see how much she can take.

California Star doesn't provide much in the way of splashy sets or fabulous cinematography, but what they do have is enthusiasm, heart and a sense of fun. This brief, lighthearted effort is no exception, with the tickling not particularly varied but performed with gusto. Though enjoyable to watch, Benny has a little less finesse than delicate Barbi, but Malery is the real focus here - she's very likable and has the sort of bod you'd love to get your fingers into.

Retailing: Lightweight entertainment for tickling fans.
