- Review
-
Previous reviews cover the basics, so a spin: A single man with a woody (the kind you drive) befriends teenage boys, tries to recruit them to his club, invites them to a ball game, gives them food, and asks them to go swimming. A primer for the sick homos in "Boys Beware" and a shame that Chuck Conners wasn't in that one too!
