Over a year after a chase to catch a serial slayer dubbed the ‘LADYKILLER’ ended in the death of his old partner. Lt. Jack ‘Jigsaw’ Lasky sees a chance too redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow cops, when another serial killer, ‘The Piggy Bank Murderer’ starts preying on female students at a local campus. Slashing his victims throats with a switchblade before stuffing loose change into their mouths leaving behind the words “She Needed The Money” wherever he goes. Jack’s search leads to a number one suspect in the form of Richard Darling an out-of-work actor drawn to the case for reasons unknown as he is drawn to the Jack’s art student daughter, Jennifer who studying at the exact same college as the murders occur. As Jack finds himself becoming partnered to Richard who continues on being never far away when the next homicide occurs. Jack searches to uncover this killer of girls before he concludes his slaughter spree with Jennifer.
Reviews on the IMDB are rather “ho hum” {and there are only 3 – each of them rather brief} but this one pretty well encapsulates what you can expect… capkronos from Ohio, USA wrote:
OK Roger Corman cable production delivers pretty much what you’d expect. A maniac kills shapely nude models on a small college campus by slitting their throats after force-feeding them coins. Troubled ex-policeman Jack `Jigsaw’ Lasky (Ben Gazzara), who’s haunted by memories of accidentally shooting and killing his partner, becomes personally involved when the prime suspect, cocky actor Richard Darling (Alex MacArthur), becomes involved with his blonde artist daughter (Renee Ammann).
The plot is often highly implausible and some of the characters behave brain dead, but some witty dialogue and good interplay between Gazzara and MacArthur are enough to keep you tuned in.
