Ginger is back from her first adventure for more sleazy spy work.

After four teenage girls have been kidnapped in a small town by a gang of men, the agency of detectives calls in Ginger again for assistance in finding where the girls have been taken. While Ginger is learning more about how the girls disappeared she meets a local hunk named Ken that works for the newspaper. They flirt, of course, so Ginger already has a hot date lined up.

We see that the abductors are a group of men that sell girls into sex slavery, and they use a secret base in the forest to hold their victims until they're ready to be sold. The girls are abused and brainwashed to be submissive, so the stakes are high that they need to be found soon!

Ginger has a plan to use a younger female agent as bait, in hopes of luring the bad guys out of hiding so their secret base can be found. With help from Ken's newspaper, they ensure the girl will be noticed and set the plan in motion.

But first, Ginger and Ken have to go on that date! Hey, they gotta fit in a dance scene and a few dozen sexual innuendos somehow.
Anyways, the bad guys take the bait and kidnap the agent but the plan doesn't go as Ginger expected, so she goes on another date with Ken... Of course.
Ginger realizes too late that she's let her guard down and gets kidnapped when she places her trust in the wrong people! She'll have to use all her sexual subterfuge to save herself and the young agent from the cruelty of the abductors!


"It takes a bitch to beat a bastard at his own game." - Ginger



Overall, this is an improvement from the first movie. The story is much more coherent and they have more budget to work with. It is still just as sleazy and depraved as the first movie, but definitely not as bleak and depressing. There's some humour and attempts at fun dialog to keep it a bit sillier. The rape and violence aren't graphic, but it's appropriately awkward as trashy sexploitation tends to be.
It's a demented grindhouse movie worth seeing if you're a fan of Cheri Caffaro's quirky screen presence, but it's not going to be mistaken for a classic of the genre.

Be sure not to miss:
- The longest chest-soaping scene in cinema history.
- Edible radar?? I'm not buying it.

Internet review:
"It was like torture, but fascinating torture. Don't miss it. - Lars

Should I watch it?
We've enjoyed worse, and at least this one has laughs.
