All this fun must inevitably be punished and it is. One of the girls drowned, another gets pregnant then turns to crime. This film is a bit easier to follow than Reefer Madness as it focuses more on one character – Burma, who gets knocked up, gives up the baby and becomes a drug dealer. Burma’s a decent character with an understandable motivation (mum preferred her sister). Indeed, after the great skinny dipping scene it turns into a kind of standard tough woman melodrama with Burma running around with a bad crowd but discovering a mother’s love at the end. There is a fun scene where Burma shakes down a druggie client (a middle aged woman) but the rest of the second half is fairly conventional. And correct me if I’m wrong, but does she die at the end of the film of a marijuana overdose?
