SYNOPSIS

The story revolves around three brothers who have no love for each other but a great love of riches. Their father, hating all three of them, devises a plan whereby greed will lead them to kill each other off. He tells them of a fortune buried in the middle of the South American jungle which only he knows about. He then gives each son a map and legacy which states that the fortune is his alone.

Michael Noble, played by Richard Davalos, is married to Jenny, a beautiful blonde, played by Leslie Parrish. Indifferent to her husband, Jenny is, in fact, in love with Jim Noble, played by Larry Pennell. The third brother, Geoffrey Noble, played by Steve Drexel, is the greediest of the lot. He wants both the money and Jenny.

All three brothers arrive in South America at about the same time and the race is on. Since a violent storm has previously hit the jungle, all roads into the interior are washed out. The treasure is only accessible by water.

Geoffrey, tricking Michael, kidnaps Jenny and takes her away with him on his boat. Michael, frantically seeking his wife and the treasure, inadvertently runs a policeman down with his jeep and kills him. The jeep is discarded when a tire blowout forces Michael to head into the jungle in search of Jenny and “his legacy.” The police now start their pursuit of the hit-run killer.

Meanwhile, Geoffrey has arrived at a point in the jungle where he will have to proceed on foot. Leaving one of his men to guard the girl and the boat, he goes ashore. Jim catches up with them, subdues the guard, releases the girl and scuttles the boat. With the aid of a friendly native named Pablo, played by Kahana of the BANANA SPLITS series, Jim and Jenny make their way to the ancient ruins of the Incas. Jenny, while taking a shower under a waterfall, discovers the entrance to the cave where the treasure is hidden. She and Jim no sooner enter the cave and find the treasure when Geoffrey and his men show up. They, in turn, claim the treasure. At this point, the Police Inspector and his men arrive at the cave. The Inspector claims the treasure for his government. They all leave the cave only to be pinned down by the rifle fire from the now deranged Michael. Geoffrey, knowing that Michael is after him, grabs a gun from the Inspector and takes off into the jungle. A chase ensues and Michael finally corners Geoffrey, who pleads for his life. Michael, now hopelessly insane, kills him. Jim accosts Michael and attempts to bring him in to the police. A fist fight follows and Michael, grabbing the rifle, points it threateningly at Jim. The Inspector comes up behind Michael and kills him before he has a chance to shoot. Jenny, who has come with the Inspector, rushes to Jim, who tells her of his brothers’ deaths. Jenny, leaning on Jim’s shoulder, begins to cry softly. He leads her up a jungle path away from the scene of devastation caused by his father’s hate and his brothers’ greed.

SYNOPSIS

DR. VOXUBER (Steven Vincent) is operating a mysterious 'Health Spa' training center at a rustic retreat on the California coast known as Godiva Springs. After interviewing fifty weirdly assorted people he selects eight for his next session. Voxuber requires that some pay for his services. However, there are those who -- because of their experiences with LSD and other psychedelic drugs -- are given
'scholarships,' providing Dr. Voxuber will purchase their 'trips.'

The group comprises SHRINK (Sina Taylor), a fashionable young housewife, mother of three, who hopes to become more aware and establish a relationship with nature, but whose real, unconscious goals are to abandon her family and have passionate affairs with men to whom she would have no obligations. BOOBS (Leigh Heine), a gorgeous teenager, has lived the wildest life for her nineteen years. Voxuber warns her against leaving in the middle of the session as she did once before, as all the men followed. HOWITZER (Frank Whiteman), a handsome stud and TV announcer, has joined for fun and games. MRS. DING DONG (Ann Staunton) is a middle-aged lady who teaches high school. RUBY BEGONIA (Sonja Dunson) is a sullen, hot-eyed colored girl who has preached the gospel every Sunday but found that every other day was filled with hatred. She also hopes that Dr. Voxuber can rectify her 'frigidness' with men.

BUBBLEGUM (John Quinn) is always chewing a wad of gum and although the gum is impregnated with a solution of LSD his boyish features fool everyone. SHEENA (Branch Halford) appears as a beautiful young lady until a captivated beau discovers that she is a male in drag. Sheena hopes to be able to find a solution to his problem -- but he has a clear preference for the female. BURP (Harvey Shain), the last of the group, is in his twenties and can only express himself by burping, which provides eloquent commentary to numerous discussions.

With this unlikely group in tow, Dr. Voxuber puts them through a strange series of exercises and rituals designed to make them aware of their bodies in a way they haven’t ever dreamed about. A sharp conflict develops between Voxuber and Howitzer when the Doctor prevents him from bedding Boobs, and insists on a code of eroticism without intercourse. Of course this system doesn’t work out and in the end Shrink is in love with Howitzer, Boobs with Bubblegum and Howitzer, who is in reality a vice squad cop sent out to investigate Voxuber, vows to give him a favorable report.

The session complete, Voxuber in jail after a wild LSD party, the group breaks up and each is now aware that their lives and destinies are in their own hands and not Voxuber’s.
