...series of porno video tapes. Predictably, their leader, a villain named Dirty Bob, manages to slip through some elaborate defenses and tracks McGee to his opulent houseboat, the Busted Flush. The result is one of MacDonald's King Kong vs. Godzilla confrontations that deliver a soul-satisfying amalgam of mayhem and justice...
