Four high-production-value scenes linked by a hint of bondage in each one.

Afternoon. Film noir office. Late afternoon sunlight, venetian blind shadows on the walls. Muted trumpet background music. Kelsey Kane tells shirtsleeved loose tie private dick Hollywood Cash, "I finally land a studio contract, and the second it's announced, I'm blackmailed," as he peruses a pay-up-or-else note made of clipped letters from magazines.

"Do you think it's the photographer?"

"No, he's already up the river. Obscenity charges, obviously. Somebody else has to have the originals."

Cash is intrigued by a picture of Kane in bondage, and when she asks if she can appeal to his honor by opening her top, Cash indulges his own bondage interest by putting her in handcuffs, which she smilingly accepts and doesn't slow down her ardor or activity.

On a jail telephone, inmate Anna Claire Clouds tells her lawyer Jason Luv, "I'm surrounded by people, and I've never been more lonely. Y'know what I miss? I need you." When they get together for an attorney-client conference, Luv asks the guard, "Can you at least take the cuffs off?"

"No can do."

Fortunately, Luv has a bobby pin and the interrogation room has a padded bench. The conference is successful.

The third scene interprets a philosophical allegory from Plato's Republic: Michael Vegas and two other prisoners are chained in a cave and tantalized by a shadow image of a dancing woman. Vegas manages to pick the lock on his chain and leaves the cave, blinking at the sunlight. He finds Angie Faith, dressed in white lingerie as angelic choirs sing in the background, and they hook up just outside the cave.

A tarot reader tells Kenna James, "You will meet another man. Passionate. Adventurous. You will know him by the flag he wears," as she flips another card: The Devil. "The devil inside of you." As she leaves, James runs into GI Joey—literally—and a moment later she's in a bra and G-string and leather collar with a leash held by Joey. He holds her back as she tries to suck him, purring, "How bad do you want it?" Joey doms her with the leash and a blindfold, taunting her by repeating, "How bad do you want it?" She's a willing participant, but he's in charge.
