Storyline

Hickspoiltation film from the early 1970s ostensibly starring Oscar nominee Mercedes McCambridge, but really more a film looking for an excuse to show off Simone Griffeth's beauty. She plays a daughter of a swamp family. The whole family goes to a carnival where she is seduced by an older male performer, while her teen brother is seduced by an older female performer.

""Mercedes McCambridge is Ma Irtley. Threatened with salvation... Her daughter ravaged... Her son seduced... That's what $8,000 got the Irtleys!""
